Through its transversal programming combining marginal artistic expressions, contemporary art and creation in all its forms, MANAS affirms its desire to build bridges and create exchange.
In keeping with its primary mission of conservation, study and dissemination of its collections, the Museum is positioned as a resource platform for the visual arts. Place of discovery, creativity and artistic practice, it invites all publics to the appropriation of a common heritage, the meeting with the concrete work, real and the understanding of the artistic gesture. The plurality of its youth-oriented and family-oriented offering desecrates the cultural institution and broadens the scope of possibilities. Its original policy of opening and out of the walls removes the obstacles to the arrival at the Museum which, based on a network of partners of the territory, allows all those remote from the culture to access the works.
