Archiving and Celebrating Two Centuries of Artistic Creation

Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris

The Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (MAM Paris) is located in the heart of French capital, between the Champs-Elysées and the Eiffel Tower. While its roots stretch back to 1937, the museum remains one of the key institutions of Parisian cultural life despite the transformations in name and location that it has undergone over the decades. Its permanent collection highlights all of the major artistic movements from the early 20th century to present day and showcases such artists as Pablo Picasso, Raoul Dufy, Amedei Modigliani, Jacqueline Marval, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Marc Chagall.

Beyond hosting acclaimed exhibitions, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris offers a plethora of educational programming at schools and day-care centers. The museum also operates community outreach programs designed to engage audiences that have traditionally lacked access to modern and contemporary art. Through all of its work — and artwork — MAM Paris seeks to encompass the diverse and magnetic dynamism of the visual arts in the 20th and 21st centuries.
