Review & FAQ:

This center in Tours was constructed in 2017 to host contemporary art. There are three main exhibition areas – the white gallery, the black gallery and the 11m high nave. The black gallery opened with the work of Olivier Debré, a local artist who died in 1999, and after whom the museum is named. The setting offsets the vivid colors of his collection. The nave opened with a work by Per Barclay. A shallow tank on the floor was filled with oil to create intriguing reflections. His work is usually created for photographs only. The building is lit at night so that the art is visible from outside.
