MAZEAS STEPHANE

Visited this morning and it was really good. It was free to get in and had some interesting art and a Rodin exhibition.

I liked the curation and the exhibits but sadly was partially closed (20/9/24)so didn’t see the Rodin. If that’s what you want check the refurb is done.

⭐️⭐️ A small, provincial museum that seems to exist mostly because someone in power needed a local cultural symbol to stroke their ego. 🏛️ It’s hard to believe there’s any deeper reason for this place—it feels like a checkbox on some city planner’s legacy project. 🗂️ Most people passing through Calais won’t even know it’s here, and honestly, that might be for the best. 🧳 It doesn’t add any noticeable value to the town’s cultural life. 🫥 The exhibitions are limited, the space feels underwhelming, and the overall experience is forgettable. 🖼️ Ironically, the small park in front of the museum is more enjoyable—especially when the weather is good. 🌤️ You get more for your time and attention there than you do inside the museum itself. 🌳 And the price of admission? Probably better spent on a coffee while enjoying the park’s longer opening hours. ☕

Nice museum. Clean and polite staff. Would recommend. Free entry

This museum offers a decent standard collection and the temporary exhibition about street art is very interesting. Great artists are represented. Some works are merely representative. Also, let's mention the fact a museum holds an exhibition about street art. It's ironic, but there's no chance to get as much context to stand still to outside of musea.

Good exhibits, friendly reception staff. Great for an hour or two and free 😁

We just could see the permanent exhibition, because the temporary exhibition was recently canceled. The attention in the ticket office was not kind. The people who work there seem to be bored or upset. The location of some of the artworks, against the light, does not allow to appreciate the details.

Such a brilliant little museum, there was a street art exhibition when I visited which was amazing. It is a small building though so keep that in mind
