Saint Etienne - Museum of Modern Art

In Saint Etienne, in the northern district of La Terrasse is the new Museum of Modern Art, a long tile-faced building designed by Didier Guichard (1987), with a large collection which ranks it among the leading French museums. It displays works by the "classic" modern painters such as Picasso, Léger, Miró, Picabia and Schwitters, but concentrates particularly on the art of the post- war period including the German Neo- Expressionists.
