The Louvre-Lens Museum : A Ray of Culture in Pas de Calais
Located in the town of Lens, the Musée du Louvre-Lens is a regional extension of the famous Musée du Louvre in Paris. Since opening in 2012, this modern museum has transformed the local cultural landscape and become a must-see for art and history lovers from all over France and beyond. Clévacances offers you the opportunity to discover this architectural gem and its artistic treasures by staying in one of our comfortable gîtes or chambres d'hôtes.
Impressive Architecture
The Louvre-Lens building, designed by the Japanese agency SANAA, is a masterpiece of contemporary architecture. Its all-glass and aluminium structure blends harmoniously into the landscape of the surrounding 20-hectare park, a successful conversion of a former mining site. This transparent, open design symbolises the museum's desire to make art accessible to all.
Permanent and Temporary Exhibitions
At the heart of Louvre-Lens is the "Galerie du Temps", a unique permanent exhibition where almost 200 major works from the Louvre are presented in an open space, without partitions. This innovative presentation allows the works to interact with each other across time and cultures, offering an exceptional narrative and visual experience. The museum also offers captivating temporary exhibitions that explore a variety of artistic and historical themes, constantly enriching the cultural offering for visitors.
Educational and Family Activities
The Louvre-Lens is committed to democratising access to culture and offers a variety of educational activities for all ages. Children's workshops, themed guided tours and lectures are regularly organised to enrich the visitor experience. These programmes are designed to stimulate interest in and understanding of the collections, making the museum an ideal venue for family outings.
Discovering Lens and the Region
Your visit to the Louvre-Lens can also be an opportunity to discover Lens and its region. The town offers other attractions such as the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, famous in the football world, and the Vimy Memorial, dedicated to the memory of the First World War.
