MuMa - Musée d'art moderne André Malraux

The first impressionist collection of France after Paris. 
Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Pissarro, Dufy… in their own light.

The museum of Le Havre was first established in 1845. Its original collection was made up by
purchases, State consignments and donations by art lovers from Le Havre.

The historic collection comprises works of art of the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century. Most of the main schools of painting are represented through the works of Simon Vouet, Ribera,
Ter Brugghen, Janssens, Dughet, Hubert Robert, etc. It was progressively enriched by the works of art of the 19th century (Courbet, Pissarro, Monet…) and 20th century (Villon, Léger, Dubuffet…). These works are alternately exhibited.

A modern architecture

In 1961, under the guidance of Jean Prouvé, students of Auguste Perret; Guy Lagneau, Michel Weil, Jean Dimitrijevic and Raymond Audigier built the Malraux Museum. It is immediately seen as a modern and innovative building. Its glass and steel profile rises like a figure-head over the nearby sea. The Seine
Estuary and the light so precious to painters converge to make a scenic background for the fabulous impressionist collection of the Museum. Due to its large glass facade, the visitor attention is naturally and subtly drawn back and forth from the works of art to the landscape and from the landscape to the works of art.
