LaM, Lille Métropole Musée d'art moderne, d'art contemporain et d'art brut

Okay, this has some 'big hitters' Picasso, Braque, etc. But the really interesting thing is the story of Art Brut, which is explained during the exhibition of the permanent collection. I didn't get it all, but isn't that the point? Be warned though, some pictures in the museum contain ladies breasts, uncovered. Google won't allow me to show images of these and if these will offend you probably best not to go. It is well worth a visit but both the Palais in Lille and the Piscine in Roubaix are more accessible in multiple senses.

It is a really nice museum. The temporary exhibitions were the main attraction. They also spoke English, which was a big +. It is a bit far away, so you need to take either a bus and metro, or a car.

Very nice experience in Lille on a hot day. Calm and not too many people. There's a restaurant that we ignored. We visited the permanent exhibition only which was very impressive. There are lockers for your stuff.

Very nice museum, I saw Nogushi exhibition, retrospectiv, and I must say I discovered an artist, though I don't like much of his work;, anyway nice presentation, worth seeing! The permanent collection shows contemporary works from famous artists, or "art brut" less known ones. Nice shop, nice café, garden.. All in all you can enjoy a full afternoon forgetting the ordinary life..

Wonderful exhibition space. Good permanent exhibits. Saw the I Noguchi exhibition. Fantastic. Lovely cafe too. Easy to get to from Lille centre.

We were out of season so only permanent collection open. Slightly disconcerting that you need to take the metro and a bus to get there- but view it as preparation for the artistic feast that awaits you. I enjoyed the Leger and of course the Modigliani and the Alexander Calder mobile in the grounds. Visit the cafe - we had an excellent fish and coconut curry

A very limited permanent collection with little in the way of curation makes this a non-essential visit. Unfortunately, upon visiting, two temporary exhibitions were not on which greatly impacted the visit. There were some respected artists (Picasso, Leger, Braques) but that doesn’t make a great museum. Café was very respectable and had a nice outdoor space. The gardens — which are free to enter — are the best part of the entire visit, with some fantastic sculptures on display. For a museum that’s not in the city centre, I would not recommend as an essential unless you had a particular interest in either the gardens or any temporary exhibitions.

The LaM museum near Lille 🇫🇷 is amazing. Also the exhibition ‘Paul Klee - Betweens two worlds’ that makes us (re)discover the art of Paul Klee from an angle as intimate as it is fascinating.
