Carré d'Art

A nice cultural center for Nimes, where you go from the library to the classrooms where you can set up exhibitions such as those of modern art. The architecture is new and majestic as a whole and definitely makes it quite a tourist attraction. Then there is also the possibility of going to the bar-restaurant with a terrace overlooking the square of the Roman temple.

Extremely inspiring contemporary museum and one of my personal favourites in Nimes. The curation was diverse in art styles with great taste for new artists :)

I was there for the opening of the first exhibition to occupy the entire space by a single artist ( and he’s local!) Despite being 87? He not only directed the installation, he apparently created the last work for it 5 days ago! A stunning space with knowledgeable and friendly staff. A must see !

Great building and pretty library, nevertheless, the museum disappointed us. Super SMALL exhibition and quite awful. We enjoy contemporary art museums but this one is not worth the money. Nice admission staff, but the one at the exhibition were kind of annoying.

We visited it on Sunday, museum is open but toilets are closed. Fairly poor exhibition, your tickets are checked in every room you enter.

The view from top is a good tip. It's a place called " Le ciel de Nîmes" toping 5he museum. It's worth visiting collections of that nice art center and public library. The restaurant and bar over the terrace is one if the best adresses in town....

The Carré d'art at Nîmes in southern France houses a museum of contemporary art and the city's municipal library. Constructed of glass, concrete and steel, it faces the Maison Carrée, a perfectly preserved Roman temple that dates from the 1st century BC

Great Cultural Center - interesting architecture. Parking just around the corner.
