LaM – Lille Métropole Museum of Modern Art
LaM, Villeneuve-d'Ascq
An art museum in Villeneuve-d'Ascq with works by Picasso and Modigliani, along with France's largest collection of Art Brut.
LaM brings together modern art, contemporary art and Art Brut under one roof. Its collection includes important works by Braque, Picasso, Léger, Miró and Modigliani, and its Art Brut holdings are the largest in France. The original red-brick building and a newer wing with a perforated façade sit in a sculpture park by the lake, which suits a leisurely half-day visit. Closed on Mondays; admission is about €11. From Lille, take metro line 1 to Pont de Bois, then transfer to a bus. The journey takes about 30 minutes.
