Museum of modern art Andre Malraux

The Museum of modern art Andre Malraux is a gallery in Le Havre, France containing one of the country's most broad accumulations of impressionist paintings.

It is named after Andre Malraux, Minister of culture when the exhibition hall was opened in 1961.

The exhibition hall leaves from the convention of shut galleries, planned by Lagneau in close collaboration with keeper Reynold Arnoult to build up an adaptable space in congruity with the marine environment. Facing the ocean, the gallery is a smooth and straightforward get together of glass and steel presented on a solid cushion. Introduced over the rooftop, the aluminum louver cutting edges were made by the specialist Jean Prouve, giving power over the common light that floods the structure. Le Signal, a solid model by Henri Georges Adam, outlines a part of the scene and unequivocally accentuates the extraordinary circumstance of the structure at the harbor entrance. The historical center houses an accumulation of workmanship crossing the previous 5 centuries, with the impressionist painting gathering being the 2nd most broad in France after that of the Orsay Museum in Paris. There are sketches by Claude Monet and different specialists who lived and worked in Normandy.
