Museum featuring a major pictorial collection of modern and contemporary art, with areas dedicated to the graphic arts

Covering 5,000 m², the MAMCS collections cover the period from 1870 to the present day with more than 18,000 works stored within its walls. Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Primitivism, Cubism and Surrealism are among the different artistic movements represented. The paintings of Picasso, Kandinsky, Monet, Dali and Max Ernst are particularly noteworthy. Lovers of engraving will enjoy the room dedicated to the work of the great Gustave Doré. Thanks to the different spaces, the visitor has access to an important pictorial collection of modern and contemporary art, but also to spaces dedicated to graphic arts and photography. The MAMCS also keeps a particularly sharp eye on a young generation of artists from the four corners of the world and proposes an annual program of exhibitions, as well as a real policy of acquisition of recent works. Beyond the purely aesthetic aspect, the place invites reflection, to question oneself, to let oneself be disturbed, to shake up one's convictions, whether in a playful way or in a more profound way around the proposed scenographies.

An auditorium, an extensive library and a perfectly arranged bookshop complete the place. For a relaxing break, you can go to the Art Café, which offers a breathtaking view of Strasbourg, for a drink or a lunch. This last space sometimes proposes show-cases of recognized artists.

Sehr schön und interessant, lässt einen in Fantasywelten und der Gegenwärtigen Welt nachdenken

Une visite réalisée avec un groupe. L'intervenante nous a présenté différentes œuvres et nous a fait réaliser des croquis. Excellente initiative que ces visites créatives. Le musée est magnifique et les œuvres très variées.

Absolute must visit for those who are inspired by abstractism and its expression in Neoplasticm (I love this art style and these pieces remain my favourite in the museum). However, the giant size paintings by Doré are the real must-see here. Not abstract at all, but truly moving and emotive art that demonstrates talent beyond mastery. I highly recommend exploring the gallery until 6pm on a Sunday, and then walking over through Petite France to Aeden place for some pizza and the secret bar... ????

J’ai beaucoup aimé l’architecture du lieu et ai regretté l’absence de vestiaire ou de casier pour poser ses affaires

Un lieu majestueux d'exception dédié à la recherche plastique moderne et contemporaine. Saluons l'efficacité redoutable de ses gardiennes de ce temple qui , armées de leurs talkie walkie, traquent le resquilleur qui aurait contourné la caisse de l'entrée même lors de faible affluence. Prenez garde à ne pas trop vous approcher des oeuvres présentées, même pour voir un peu mieux, elles vous le font regretter derechef par une vociferation de reproches en public vous faisant bien comprendre que vous êtes à deux doigts de l'irrespect. Veillant sur les pièces comme sur leurs propres gosses la légende raconte que Marjane Satrapi s'en serait inspirée lors de la création de son chef d'oeuvre Persepolis pour relater les gardiennes de la révolution des mollahs. À moins que ce fut l'inverse.
