CREATING SPACE

Inside, the work of decompartmentalization opens the building on itself. From a place structured in small rooms, one passes to a large horizontal space which invites to circulate. The layout of the building is deliberately simple, fluid and transparent. The decompartmentalization responds to the idea of pooling collections and resources, whatever their nature (works, books, music, films, documents, sounds...). This is the raison d'être of Les Franciscaines. It is not a building in which we put objects. The challenge is to implement the visitor's encounter with the works.
