SHORT TOURS

LEVELS -1, 1 and 2

Departures every 30 minutes

Join us on a guided tour led by Cultural Guides to discover the world of Alexander Calder! Wander through the Galleries to explore half a century of his creative output: from the late 1920s, with his early "Cirque Calder" works that captivated the Parisian avant-garde, to his monumental sculptures that redefined the concept of public art in the 1960s and 1970s.

OPEN SPACE

LEVEL 2, GALLERY 8

Throughout the evening, a Cultural Guide will be on hand to explain the exhibition by the artist Armineh Negahdari, "What Color Is Your Sky Today?" The artist works within the intensity of a flow where the hand, guided by intuition and hesitation, precedes the idea: the line emerges, driven by a physical commitment that gives rise to images as powerful as they are fragile.
