Le LaM, musée d’art moderne Office de Tourisme de Lille

The museum is currently closed!

LaM will be closing its doors from October 2024 as part of renovation work to improve the reception and comfort of visitors. During this period, the museum will remain close to its visitors, offering a rich programme of off-site activities throughout the European Metropolis of Lille, the Hauts-de-France region and beyond.

The LaM team looks forward to welcoming you to the museum when it reopens in February 2026 with an exceptional exhibition devoted to Vassily Kandinsky, organised in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Wealthy collections

Inaugurated in 1983 to house the donation of modern art by Geneviève and Jean Masurel, the LaM has become, with the donation of works by L’Aracine in 1999, the benchmark museum for art brut.

With 4,000 m² of exhibition space, discover a rich collection of over 8,000 works by Georges Braque, Daniel Buren, Aloïse Corbaz, Henry Darger, Paul Klee, Fernand Léger, Augustin Lesage, Annette Messager, Joan Miró, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Kiki Smith, and many others… Retrospectives of major international artists punctuate the seasons.

In a jewel case of greenery

LaM is also a remarkable park, home to monumental sculptures by Alexander Calder, Richard Deacon and Pablo Picasso, as well as a library with over 40,000 books, an auditorium, a bookshop-boutique and a café-restaurant. Throughout the year, the LaM team welcomes you for guided or self-guided tours, art workshops, shows, meetings and conferences.

A cultural destination in a green setting, included in the City Pass!

In 2024, LaM will undergo a major facelift, starting with a series of works in the spring, and closing completely in the autumn.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am – 6pm.
Closed Mondays, 01/01, 01/05 and 25/12.
