Permanent exhibition of contemporary mosaics
Not to be missed is the precious Le Coq Bleu, from a watercolour by Marc Chagall, which will envelop you in its blues and transport you to a Jewish imagery dominated by love.
If you want to enjoy the infinite variations of colour, size and shape of a mosaic tile, and its patterns, linger quietly on the six mosaic shovels on the walls.
Coloured paper butterflies, spray bottle caps, folded cards, straws, long fragments of marble laced in undulating movements, like sea organisms lulled by the current. You will find Japanese poetic suggestions, mosaic sculptures now disturbing now joyful; micromosaics, trencadìs, pop icons, reflections on food and dreams in drawers.
