In detail

On Sunday, September 20, the Reims Museum of Fine Arts invites you to the Halles du Boulingrin for an outdoor exhibition set up on the Quai de Gros, as part of the arts and crafts market.

You’ll discover works from the museum’s collections, selected around the themes of gastronomy and the art of the table. This selection invites you to take a fresh look at the objects, techniques, and craftsmanship that connect artistic creation with decorative arts. Through this dialogue, the exhibition highlights a unique aspect of Reims: the close connection between two of the city’s iconic heritage traditions—gastronomy and art.

In the lively atmosphere of the Halles du Boulingrin, you can wander freely among the works on display and enjoy an accessible, open event rooted in local heritage. The exhibition will also feature a presentation of the project for the future Museum of Fine Arts, offering a glimpse into the future of this cultural venue in Reims.

Museum of Fine Arts

Led by the City of Reims, with support from the Grand Est Region and the DRAC, the future Reims Museum of Fine Arts is preparing for its rebirth. Opened in 1913, this major landmark of Reims’ cultural heritage is reinventing itself to become more open to the city and bring its collections into the 21st century. When it reopens, scheduled for late 2027, you’ll discover a transformed museum with three times as much exhibition space. This new layout will allow the works that have made the museum famous to take center stage once again: the portraits by Cranach the Younger, the paintings from the Grand Siècle, the masters of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, the Art Deco collection, and the Foujita collection.

Through this presentation, the museum invites you to get a glimpse of this future cultural venue—one that is more accessible, more vibrant, and firmly committed to sharing the arts with audiences of all kinds.
