The exhibition of the Maison Gribaldi presents this year an important selection of works from the collection of contemporary glass art Denise & Marcel Heider which is the subject of an important donation to the City of Evian.
This collection was initiated in the eighties. Today, it brings together more than 450 works by glassmakers, artists and designers, all techniques and all horizons combined. Open to the whole world, it is a beautiful tribute to glass creation in all its diversity and complexity.
Filled with the complicity, energy and sensitivity of the Heider couple, and their taste for culture, the collection reflects a spirit, a vision, a relationship to the world, made of trips and meetings with creators and wise advisors. But the collection is also based on many other orientations and intimate choices that make its identity: elective affinities, support for artists, work in harmony between works, lifestyle and habitat, and some plastic and aesthetic leitmotifs such as figuration, humour, philosophy, poetry, desire, among others...
The exhibition of the House Gribaldi allows to go further in the unveiling of this important collection which also opens to dialogue with the presence this season of one of the most important contemporary glassware of Murano, the Venier glassware, who, out of friendship for the collector, has agreed to present to Evian works by their great glass master Luca Vidal.
Scientific curation and scenography: Manuel Fadat, art historian.

In the spring of 2013, the city opened the doors of the Gribaldi House to the general public. This site is dedicated to the development of historical and iconographic municipal archives. One of the last vestiges of old Evian: considered as one of the last vestiges of old Évian, this Renaissance period house was certainly the outbuilding of a manor house. It borders the alley of Nant d'Enfer, just behind the Palais Lumière and rests on a part of the rampart that once encircled the medieval city. It was probably part of a group of mansions, acquired by Archbishop Vespasien de Gribaldi, perhaps annexes to his manor. Today, a tool of knowledge: open from April to the end of October, the Gribaldi house and its extension welcome on some 350 m² an exhibition space and a place of consultation of digitized archives. One to two exhibitions will be organized each year, to highlight the archives and present in a different light the rich and atypical history of the city. Educational activities (con
