Bernard Magrez Art Institute, City of Bordeaux

A private art initiative that is open to the public

featured in Sights & Sites

The Institut Culturel Bernard Magrez wants to be a bridge between tradition and innovation.

The building offers a new original space of cultural dissemination, meeting, exchange and creation, and from a desire to make contemporary art more accessible to better understand and feel better in a case made of pleasure and contemplation.

With a permanent collection of contemporary art and many temporary exhibitions this mansion in the centre of Bordeaux offers a quiet atmosphere to enjoy art. The small gardens are also very pleasant to wander through. You can enjoy a glass of wine from one of the wineries of Bernard Magrez.
