Visit a private museum in Aubervilliers and discover hundreds of optical and kinetic works from the 60s to the present day.
What an unusual place! This private museum, housed in a 1,000 m² hangar, brings together hundreds of optical and kinetic works from the 60s to the present day, patiently assembled by Colette and Jean Cherqui, a doctor and pharmacologist. One of their grandsons will guide you through this exceptional collection of works, many of them South American: a giant wall by Soto, the work of Bolivian Gastón Ugalde (a balloon pool) and Cuban artist José Franco (a repainted Ferrari), to name but a few. A must-see!

Sauf que j’aurais aimé que mes enfants fassent l’atelier pour enfants, mais j’ignorais que ce n’étais que le mercredi qu’on pouvait s’y inscrire.
