For MPG2019 Musée Regards de Provence Delivers Food Art

Marseille’s super Musée Regards de Provence has been inspired by the MPG2019 Year of Gastronomy programme and is serving up two foodie exhibitions.

L’Art Mange l’Art (until October 31, 2019) has a wide range of contemporary works, all food-themed; there is some witty photography (eg behind the scenes in restaurants) and interesting paintings.

Climb the stairs to the second floor for the more prominent ‘De La Table au Tableau’ (until September 22, 2019) exhibition, which draws on the foundation’s resources to bring together paintings from 19th- 21st century artists.
