The exhibition of the moment

May 22 to August 30, 2026

Anne and Patrick Poirier

Odyssey of Oblivion

Faithful to its invitations to contemporary artists, the Musée d'arts welcomes Anne and Patrick Poirier for an original exhibition in the Patio and Chapelle de l'Oratoire spaces. Comprising an installation specially designed for the venue and enhanced by emblematic and historic pieces by the artists, the exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover the fascinating universe of this creative couple whose works, imagined and produced under a common signature for over fifty years, have forged their international reputation.

Permanent collections

The collections of the Musée d'arts de Nantes have been built up over time, notably through the acquisition of works by living artists. Purchased on the art market, donated or bequeathed, the collections today comprise over 14,000 works in four categories: ancient art, 19th century, modern art and contemporary art.
