A museum, on the other hand, is identified by the story it tells.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we reconcile the history of art and the history of taste, based on an exceptional donation of than 800 works (from Antiquity, Africa, Asia, the Americas and modern Western art)? How do you go from a private collection to a museum intended for the general audience?<\/p>\n<p>The approach is simple: to escape the classifications of art history and offer a reading through the eyes of art lovers in the second half of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. In a journey that abolishes space and time by confronting objects of different origins and periods, the museum invites the spectator on a sensory voyage. It does not recreate the universe of the collectors, but evokes it in an intimate, contemporary museography. The museum is off the beaten track, with a variety of ways of presenting works: groupings by formal relationships, thematic conversations, and unusual associations. For example, there are dialogues between a Sumerian dignitary and a painting by Maurice Marinot, an Egyptian mummy&#8217;s head and a portrait by Kees Van Dongen, a tapestry by Jean Lur\u00e7at and sculptures by Germaine Richier.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, the museum suggests a relationship with works that are often unknown to the public, allowing them to claim ownership of these pieces. It encourages them to form a very personal connection with the artwork, an approach that can be adopted by anyone.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dominique Gagneux, Director and Chief Curator<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"gut-block gut-image-texte no-bg onload-anim image-gauche\" >\n\t<div class=\"wrap grid-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content grid-el-tb-5 grid-el-md-4\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Martine and L\u00e9on Cligman National Collections<\/h3>\n<p>On September 1, 2017, thanks to the donation of part of Martine and L\u00e9on Cligman personal collection, the Region Pays de la Loire announced the creation of a museum of Modern Art at the heart of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fontevraud.fr\/en\/labbaye-royale-de-fontevraud\/\">Royal Abbey of Fontevraud<\/a>, a state-owned site listed as a historic monument.<\/p>\n<p>The donation significantly enhances to the heritage and cultural dimension of Fontevraud, the oldest cultural meeting center, which was labeled in 1976 and supported by the Ministry of Culture.
