Discovery of the MAC VAL reserves

The MAC VAL offers to exceptionally open the doors of its reserves!
Usually invisible and unknown to the public, the museums' reserves are their mysterious and hidden part.
It is in the walls of the reserves that the dynamic of the museum draws its sources and that the bulk of the work applied to the collection is carried out: study, research, inventory, registration, cataloguing, consultation, loan, restoration, maintenance, packaging, photography, preparation of exhibitions, etc.
The museum’s collection is regularly enriched by purchases, donations, deposits and counts nearly 2500 works, of which only a small part is presented in the exhibitions of the collection. The specificity of the MAC VAL is to store its entire collection in the building itself.

The meeting is at the heart of the MAC VAL project: a unique collection that shows a strong commitment to the inhabitants and that contributes to the identity of the territory. Certainly the identity of MAC VAL rests above all on a humanist vision of culture. This peculiarity of the museum is part of the national and international museum landscape, accompanying the artistic policy based on the historical anchoring of the collection in the 1950s and its prospective vision: report on the creation of today through the enrichment of the collection of existing works and commissions, invitations to artists.
