LA SUCRIÈRE

Built in the 1930s and extended in 1960, La Sucrière was a warehouse until the 1990s. In 2003 it was renovated and became the focal point of the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art; this was a major step towards the conversion of Port Rambaud into a space open to the public. Visitors enter via the former silos, following the path of the sugar deliveries of the past – a great initial contact with the 7000 sqm building and an eloquent evocation of its past.

VILLEURBANNE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Housed in a traditional French school renovated in 1992, the Institute of Contemporary Art was born of the merger between the Nouveau Musée (1978) and the Rhône-Alpes Contemporary Art Collection (1982). Its dual function is to present temporary exhibitions in its 1500 sqm of space, and to build up a collection of contemporary art intended for circulation in the Rhône-Alpes region.
