Le Magasin - Centre national d'art contemporain (CNAC) is an emblematic venue dedicated to contemporary artistic creation. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 7pm, it welcomes you to the heart of Grenoble, on the Bouchayer-Viallet site, at 8, esplanade Andry-Farcy. Directed by Céline Kopp and her team, this is the first art center in France to be established on a brownfield site. Easily accessible by streetcar, bus, car or even from the main railway station, Le Magasin CNAC is a must-see cultural destination in the region. Here, you can enjoy a rich and demanding program of temporary exhibitions, artist residencies and public events. The facility is currently hosting the group exhibition "Good Service, Good Performance", which you can visit until August 31, 2024. The exhibition showcases contemporary works suitable for all audiences. One of the Magasin's major assets is its inclusive, participatory approach. The so-called "dialogue tours", organized every weekend at 4pm, offer a free and open space for exchange, with no need for prior knowledge of contemporary art. Included in the price of admission, these tours last between an hour and an hour and a half. Among other things, Le Magasin CNAC stands out for its commitment to young audiences and families, notably through workshops organized during the summer vacations. The establishment also offers an accessible pricing policy, with a full price of 5 euros and a reduced price of 3 euros. You'll also benefit from a wide range of free tickets for the under-26s, jobseekers, RSA recipients, students, disabled people and those accompanying them, as well as holders of specific professional or cultural cards. It's a lively, open space, conducive to encounters between artworks, artists and visitors.
