As part of the European Heritage Days, come and discover or rediscover the Musée d'Art Naïf et d'Arts Singuliers.
Riches de Cultures | Exhibition | Guided tour | Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September at 11am, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm
Through more than 140 works, usually kept in reserve, the exhibition invites visitors to discover how cultural mixes are embodied through religious syncretism, commercial exchanges and a taste for the exotic. Travel is the starting point for exchanges between peoples, transcending borders and giving rise to a rich and fruitful intermingling of cultures.
Jeanine Rivais - In correspondence | Free admission
Through 40 works, the exhibition invites visitors to enter a varied artistic universe with infinite plastic languages. This collection, presented on the garden level and on the permanent tour, resonates with the museum's collection. It includes some of the major figures in Singular art already present at MANAS.

A museum in a historic building: opportunities and constraints | Conference led by Cyrielle Langlais deputy director of the Musée d'Art Naïf et d'Arts Singuliers | Saturday 20 September and Sunday 21 September at 10am | Free, no reservation required
Since 1967, the Château de Laval has been the setting for MANAS | Musée d'Art Naïf et d'Arts Singuliers. While the building has undergone many changes over the centuries, the way it is used today requires us to constantly reinvent the way in which a thousand-year-old edifice and a contemporary project cohabit.
