Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 680 reviews
Set in a remarkable sculpture park, the LaM has established a unique itinerary for visitors, highlighting the intersection between modern art, contemporary art and art brut. With over 7,000 works, the museum provides a striking overview of the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. By encouraging new ways of interacting and thinking about art, whether through its permanent collection, temporary exhibitions or cultural programme, the museum is focused on sparking your sense of curiosity, and leaves you feeling inspired and moved. Inaugurated in 1983 to house the modern art donation bequeathed by Geneviève and Jean Masurel, the LaM has since emerged as a leading museum on the world stage. Boasting an ambitious programme, it encourages encounters between artists who not only bear witness to their time, but weave a deeply personal perspective into their work.

La Piscine was the municipal swimming pool for the city, built in 1932. It operated into the 1990s when the city really needed a new, modern pool and rather than let this incredible art deco wonder go to rot, it was turned into a museum. The architect also transformed the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, a former train station. It is sensational, retaining the pool, changing rooms, the mosaic art deco glories and filling the museum with wonderful artworks, Picasso, Claudel & so many more The Henri Bouchard atelier is breath-taking, filled with his sculptures. It really looks as if the great artist just popped out and is coming back any time. Next door, a room encourages visitors to touch art, feel it as a sculptor would, the lines and flaws, the coldness of marble or bronze. And don't forget to enjoy lunch in the lovely restaurant and a famous waffle! It's seriously one of the best museums I've ever been to.

Rendez-vous 2000 years ago with the biggest Roman forum discovered in France. Put your steps in Romans' walking in a 2.5 ha archeological site which was Bagacum's heart, Nervian territory's capital city. Statues of deities, Corinthian capitals, mosaics... The antic daily-life goes back to life thanks to the museum's rich collection. The 3D projection "Bak to Bagacum" rebuilds in synthetic images so you are able to realize the site's immensity. For young and old, plenty of activities take place all year !

Believe the guide book and don't try and walk this from Roubaix Euroteleport metro and tram station - it's a long way, and bus (L3?) gets you right there. It's a very interesting place with a range of textile machines over the ages, some of which the guide runs - what a racket! Descriptions on most of the equipment is trilingual, but the history boards are all in French only. You MUST get there for the start of one of the tours (at 2pm, 3pm or 4pm) for it to make complete sense. But look in awe at some of the intricate designs these massive machines can make all because of a clever old sod called Jacquard who invented the link between punch cards and textile patterns to drive these noisy lumps of technology. A great afternoon.
