CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain
CAPC musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux
A contemporary art museum in a former warehouse for colonial goods from the 19th century, where the tall stone-arched hall is a highlight in itself.
Located in the Entrepôt Lainé in the Chartrons district, the warehouse once stored coffee, cocoa, and spices shipped from the colonies. Its vast stone-vaulted hall rises about 16 meters, and the play of light is striking. The museum's collection covers contemporary art since the 1960s and is known for large-scale installations. The rooftop café offers views over the city. Tickets cost about 8 euros. The museum is closed on Mondays. Check the official website for details.
