G Mac
★★★★★9 months agoThis is a great building that has been repurposed as a contemporary art gallery. The huge space houses some impressive installation work. They’re reviewing rooms for contemporary video and film works and spaces for suspended and kinetic art. Upstairs there is a children’s area there is also an architectural workshop.The roof is beautiful and has an area for having something to eat and drink. It has a great symphony shop and is highly recommended for the modern art lover.

★★★★★a year agoI give five stars for the building. It is truly amazing! However, the exhibition is not so interesting, a bit perfunctory, I would say. The first floor was closed except a small gallery for antiques. Anyway, if you have time to kill in Bordeaux, it is still a good place to go.
