In renovated buildings, the LaM will reopen on February 20, 2026, with a major retrospective devoted to Vassily Kandinsky, a major figure in twentieth-century art.
Co-organized with the Centre Pompidou - Paris, this exhibition will explore a little-known aspect of the artist's work: the role of images.
Photographs, scientific or press illustrations... far from being mere sources of inspiration, they nourished the artist's visual thinking and accompanied his quest for abstraction.
Through a unique collection of works and archives from Nina Kandinsky's bequest to the Centre Pompidou and exceptional loans from European public and private institutions, the exhibition invites us to rediscover the importance of images in the work of one of the founders of abstraction.
