Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles, a life as patrons horaires
villa initiale
Permanent exhibition
 
As patrons of the arts, Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles provided an exceptional level of support to artists between 1920 and 1970. Through a selection of works, furnishings, and documents, this exhibition reflects upon the history of their residence and the issues of a period which was inhabited by the avant-garde of the 20th Century (Jean Cocteau, Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalì, Man Ray, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Chareau, Djo-Bourgeois, Sybold Van Ravesteyn...). The exhibition regularly features new installations.

The permanent exhibition is open all the year round, except in January, April and June: closed for 15 days due to new settings.
