What happens during the Museum’s closure? ⓘ
During the LaM’s closure, a wide variety of activities will be organised across the Metropolitan area and region. An offsite programme will enable the Museum to develop and test out new forms of mediation.
Part of the collection will be packing its bags and travelling across the region as well as outside France!
These various projects on presentation of works from the collection are integral to the LaM’s policy on international partnerships, with the aim of showcasing its collection beyond our borders.

Transformations already underway 🏛
After a year spent celebrating the Museum’s fortieth birthday, it’s time for the team to pack up and open a new chapter in the LaM’s life! After all, a museum evolves in 40 years. As a living institution, it has undergone changes and, as with any other building, renovation operations have become necessary. Meeting environmental and heritage conservation challenges, the project aims in particular to improve your reception and visit comfort, the Museum and its Park’s accessibility and visibility, and energy optimisation of its buildings.
Renovation work will start in spring 2024 with total closure of the Museum and Sculpture Park as from October.
→ This new phase of work is part of a renovation plan initiated by Lille European Metropolis and the LaM several years ago. Previous operations, for example, have enabled a 27.35% reduction in electricity consumption thanks to replacing the lighting in some areas with LEDs and modernisation of its ventilation systems.
→ More recently, the Museum’s Sculpture Park and its immediate surroundings were subjected to extensive work designed to facilitate access to the Museum by visitors with disabilities or arriving by public transport, as well as densify vegetation with replanting of 68 grey poplars, 12 trees at the entrance to the Park, and 2,200 perennials on the shores of Saint-Jean Lake.
