On the agenda
for the 2026 edition
Guest of honour: The musée d’art moderne André Malraux (MuMa – Le Havre)
Inaugurated in 1961 by André Malraux in Le Havre, a town where artists such as Monet, Dubuffet, Friesz, Dufy and Braque were born or grew up, the MuMa is renowned for its Impressionist and Fauvist collections, the Boudin collection and the Marande bequest.
The recent donation by Hélène Senn-Foulds makes MuMa one of the leading Impressionist collections in France. The museum displays works by Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Courbet and Corot. Read more
