Fondation Maeght

On the Gardettes hill, 1km/0.5mi to the northwest of St-Paul-de-Vence, lies the Fondation Maeght, a foundation established by the art dealers Aimé and Marguerite Maeght (husband and wife) and opened in 1960, which offers a very interesting combination of nature, architecture (Josep Lluis Sert) and modern art. Alongside mosaics by Braque, Chagall and Tal- Coat, the ceramic sculptures of Mirò are of special note, as well as the bronze figures of Giacometti and the stabile by Calder.

The chapel was created by Braque and Ubac. In the museum there are works by artists such as Arp, Bonnard, Chagall, Giacometti, Kandinsky and Miró.

The Fondation Maeght also organizes temporary exhibitions, concerts and symposia; there is also an interesting bookshop for art lovers and an extensive archive.
