On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the museum offers a visit around the relationship between architecture, heritage and contemporary art. These visits will follow an unusual journey inside and outside the castle around the remarkable architectural elements and contemporary works of art produced specifically for the castle (Giueseppe Penone, Dora Garcia, Tony Cragg, Richard Long, Michelangelo Pistoletto…). These works recall the strong themes of the museum inaugurated in 1985: the landscape, the nature that surrounds Rochechouart, the imagination.
