CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain Museums in Bordeaux

Nestled in the imposing Lainé warehouse, a former 19th-century colonial goods store, the CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux is much more than just an exhibition space: it is a major institution on the French art scene.

Inaugurated in 1973 as the Centre d'Arts Plastiques Contemporains, it became a museum in 1984, building a reputation for avant-garde art. Its permanent collection, rich in nearly 1,500 works, covers major artistic movements from the late 1960s to the present day, with names such as Christian Boltanski, Annette Messager and Mario Merz. Beyond its collection, the CAPC is distinguished by a dynamic program of temporary exhibitions, often daring and innovative, which explore current and future trends in contemporary art. The building itself, with its stone and brick structure and vast volumes, provides a spectacular setting for the works, creating a unique dialogue between historic architecture and contemporary creation. The CAPC is thus a place of discovery, reflection and wonder, essential for anyone interested in the art of today.
