And for those who love mind-bending perspectives, the Palais des Beaux-Arts is showcasing Felice Varini: his monumental geometric shapes transform the atrium into an optical playground.

Around Lille, summer is still going strong

Roubaix is a must-visit with Agnès b. We love the graffiti!! at La Piscine, where fashion and street art collide, along with the vibrant ceramics of Mahjoub Ben Bella, on display until the end of September. La Manufacture, on the other hand, continues its textile dialogues between natural dyes and contemporary patterns.

If you find yourself at the Villa Cavrois, the exhibition by Mobilier national will take you back to the Art Deco spirit of 1925, with a beautiful tribute to French craftsmanship.

What's waiting for you starting in September: the real arty comeback

The next day, September 17, the LaM (Villeneuve-d’Ascq) is unveiling États-Limites, an exhibition focusing on disaster and the metamorphoses of matter. It's more cerebral, a bit rawer too, but just as fascinating for those who love contemporary art that hits hard.

Then, on September 18, it's time for the Géants du Nord at the Palais des Beaux-Arts. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their UNESCO inscription, these 7-meter colossi will be on display through maquettes.

In Tourcoing, le Fresnoy is launching Panorama 27 on September 19. Every year, this exhibition brings together over 50 exclusive works that blend image, sound, and digital arts. It's a deep dive into the bold and innovative world of contemporary young creation.

Finally, to wrap up the month in style, Louvre-Lens is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Muse&Piano festival.

(September 26 to 28). Three days of concerts and meetings between pianists and works of art, in an atmosphere that’s as magical as it is festive.
