20 years ago, the department of Val-de-Marne inaugurated its museum, the MAC VAL. This anniversary is an opportunity to confirm the quality of the museum’s heritage, a unique collection that is the fruit of over forty years of remarkable, expertly judged acquisitions. It is also an opportunity to reaffirm the expression of a museum that has remade itself and is open to the future.
This new hanging devised by the curatorial team is the result of a wide-reaching process whereby the selection of works to be displayed to the public was conceived in an unprecedented, collegial way, involving all the museum teams. Their choices, debates and selections were put forward in open workshops full of passion, conviction, enjoyment and, finally, agreement. Visitors will have the pleasure of discovering or rediscovering emblematic works from the collection. The display is designed to evoke the memories, emotions and discoveries that we have shared over the twenty years years of MAC VAL’s existence so far.
