The MAMAC has been closed to the public since 7 January 2024 for a renovation project linked to the Promenade du Paillon, season 2.

The MAMAC is part of the Routes de l'art moderne et contemporain, which bring together 60 major collections and remarkable sites of modern and contemporary art across the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, from Arles to Monaco.

Visitor reviews

Highlights: Visitors are unanimously seduced by the bold architecture of the building and the panoramic view from the terrace, which they describe as a true highlight of the visit. The richness of the permanent collection, particularly the section dedicated to the École de Nice and Nouveau Réalisme, is frequently praised, as is the quality of the temporary exhibitions that offer a fresh perspective on contemporary creation. Many also emphasize the airy and bright scenography that makes for a pleasant stroll.

Areas for improvement: Some visitors mention a lack of signage in the rooms, sometimes making it difficult to follow the chronological path. A few reviews regret the absence of a café or restaurant on site, which would allow them to extend the experience. During busy periods, especially on weekends, the wait at the ticket office can be a bit long, hence the advantage of booking online.
