Fondation Maeght,
623 Chem. des Gardettes, 06570 Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France
The Director of the Fondation will personally guide us around the permanent exhibition and tell us the history of the Museum which was opened in 1964. Some of the biggest names in 20th-century European sculpture, including Georges Braque, Joan Miró and Alberto Giacometti, came together to help create La Fondation Maeght, which has become France’s most important art foundation and is among the world’s leading cultural institutions. La Fondation was established by Aimé and Marguerite Maeght, a visionary couple who were publishers and art dealers, and who represented and were friends with some of the most important artists of the era, including Braque, Miró and Giacometti, as well as Alexander Calder, Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall, and many others.
It is France's first private museum and is modelled on many of the world's leading modern art museums.
We will meet in the foyer at 10:15. For those who wish to stay on afterwards, The Sous les Pins restaurant-café is open.
