Exhibitions of contemporary painters and artists work
Since 1989 the association ‘Présence Van Gogh’ has developped an important artistic programme, loyal to the desires of the great Dutch artist who lived in St.Remy de Provence between 1888-1889 who wished that ‘living artists are not unjustly unknown’.
Part of the museum is dedicated to the work of Vincent van Gogh, as he spent time in the area from 1889 to 1890.
Other artists such as Joseph Alessandri, Vincent Bioulès, Bernard Buffet, Jean-Jacques Ceccarelli, Jacques Doucet, Lucio Fanti, Thomas Fougeirol, Albert Gleizes, Lucien Lautrec, Eugène Leroy, Henri Manguin, André Marchand, Edouard Pignon, Paul Rebeyrolle, Pierre Tal-Coat, Ossip Zadkine ou Léon Zack,are just a few of the most well known that are represented here.
On site there is a bookshop where you can buy reproductions, stationery, posters and postcards relating to some of the artists on display.
Various temporary exhibits are on show here during the year.
Worth knowing
The museum is situated in a very beautiful private mansion l’Hotel Estrine which was built in 1749. It is an exceptional testimony of 18th century Provencal architecture and was the house of representatives of the Princes of Monaco who were lords of Saint Rémy from the reign of Louis XIII.
When to come
The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00.
