Description
The Muse Fabre, a complex of buildings rich in history but until recently disorganised and not particularly adapted to a structured museography, was in need of major renovation. After four years of study and works, this has now been accomplished and the Museum has been given a new dignity able to offer its visitors a regained sense of grandeur.Since 2 February 2007, the Muse Fabre has entered a new world of modernity but without losing its soul. While all the jewels of its architectural past have been conserved and even finally revealed they have been integrated into a contemporary architecture that places emphasis on the fluidity and freedom of the museographic route.The highlight of the route is a glowing glass screen wall whose radical treatment lies between minimalism and abstraction. The route bears witness to an approach shared by all those involved in this architectural and cultural project the architects from the Bordeaux architectural agency (Brochet, Lajus and Pueyo) and the Montpellier agency (Atelier darchitecture Emmanuzl Nebout), the curator Michel Hilaire, the painter Pierre Soulages and others.
