Born in 1986 at the initiative of the city of Caen, Artothèque is one of the first art libraries in France. For more than 30 years, it has built its foundation with the will to reinvent itself every day. Since September 14, 2013, it is installed in its new site: the Ducal Palace. Built in the fourteenth century, then remodelled over the centuries, especially in the nineteenth, the Ducal Palace is a property of the city of Caen, located opposite the original entrance of the Abbey of Men, of which it probably welcomed the distinguished guests. Largely unoccupied for several decades, the building restored by the city of Caen, offers an area of 650 m2 to the art library, Spaces of contemporary art. Discover the building of the Ducal Palace, the missions of the Art Library as well as the exhibition of Myriam Mechita "The gold beaded with your fingers made me dig to the blue".
