As part of Mental Health Information Weeks, FAMM is joining the Village of Emotions, an initiative led by the City of Mougins to raise awareness, encourage dialogue and promote a different perspective on wellbeing and mental health.

During a sensory and participatory visit, we invite you to experience art in a different way: by observing, touching, listening, describing and feeling… So many ways to engage with the artworks, awaken the senses and allow sensations and emotions to emerge.

As you make your way through the exhibition, you are invited to slow down, pay attention to your perceptions and discover that, when faced with the same artwork, each person can experience and interpret it differently.

Born into an artistic family, Eva Gonzalès began studying under Édouard Manet at just twenty-two, becoming his only formal pupil. She soon developed a distinctive artistic voice of her own.

From intimate portraits of women to scenes of domestic and everyday life, Gonzalès captured the quiet moments of modern life with remarkable sensitivity. Her work is characterised by its attention to gesture, atmosphere and the changing world around her. A regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon, she gained significant recognition during her lifetime.

For L’Heure FAMM, art historian Elisabeth Jacquet will explore Eva Gonzalès’s life and work, offering an insight into her unique artistic world and her distinctive approach to intimacy and modernity.

Heir to a renowned American family, gallerist, collector and friend to the avant-garde, Peggy Guggenheim chose to make modern art the guiding thread of her life.

From her New York gallery, Art of This Century, where she championed a new generation of artists and, as early as 1943, organised an exhibition featuring women artists exclusively, to the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni in Venice, she built a collection deeply intertwined with her encounters, loves and intuitions.

A motto welcomes visitors at the entrance to Château de La Napoule: “Once upon a time.” Behind this fortress overlooking the Mediterranean lies, above all, a love story — that of the American sculptor Henry Clews and his wife, Marie Clews.

In 1918, Marie and Henry Clews fell in love with a ruined château. Together, they transformed it into a magical world of art and imagination. After her husband's untimely death in 1937, Marie refused to let their shared vision fade away. In 1951, she founded the La Napoule Art Foundation, turning their private residence into an artistic foundation that continues to welcome creators from around the world to this day.

On Wednesday 24 June, L’Heure FAMM will welcome Nelcy Mercier, Director of the Fondation Château de La Napoule, to share the remarkable story of Marie Clews.

The FAMM celebrates its second anniversary on June 21st! 🎉

To mark the occasion, the museum is opening its doors for free to all visitors for a day dedicated to art, discovery, and community.

Come and explore the FAMM's new exhibition layout and celebrate with us two years of shining a spotlight on women artists.

FAMM Museum presented the first institutional exhibition in Europe dedicated to the artist Elizabeth Colomba. Entitled REMINISCENCE and curated by Simon de Pury, the exhibition brought together 31 works, including paintings, preparatory drawings and watercolours, some of which had never been exhibited before.

If the painter Jane Graverol now attracts the attention of collectors, other women associated with Brussels Surrealism remain largely in the shadows. This lecture, led by Marie Godet, highlighted the variety of roles played by women within the movement: as artists (Jane Graverol, Rachel Baes) and as writers (Irène Hamoir), they also more broadly redefined the notion of “accomplices” associated with the Brussels group, a term often historically restricted to male figures.

Charlotte Perriand, a modernist pioneer, shaped a socially driven vision of design, transforming ways of living while asserting her place in a male-dominated field.

On this occasion, the museum offers a moment dedicated to storytelling and imagination, inviting visitors to look at the artworks differently. Centered on the paintings of Elizabeth Colomba, the Storytelling Tours – The Secrets of REMINISCENCE promise a journey where nothing is fixed.

Le mercredi 14 janvier 2026, L’Heure FAMM propose une conférence qui met en dialogue deux artistes majeures, Julia Margaret Cameron et Shirin Neshat, pour analyser comment l’image met en scène l’identité féminine et ses tensions.
