Special features
The space is not soundproofed and is not suitable for noisy activities. This space is punctuated by industrial columns, which give it an original aesthetic character, but also make it restrictive.
conditionsThe standard space allocated for an art exhibition is approximately one-third of the walls and surfaces in the room for one artist (i.e., a wall length of between 35 and 40 meters).
The maximum capacity of the room is 50 people, in accordance with current safety standards. For vernissages, the capacity in the adjoining area is 100 people.
Upon request, it is possible to reserve additional space (additional fees may apply) with the Foundation's approval.
The museum is responsible for cleaning the room.
The installation and refurbishment of the room (walls and partitions) is the responsibility of the exhibitors.
Special requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and the Foundation will do its best to accommodate them.
We request that all explanatory materials and communications be provided in at least French and German (English optional).
