Exhibition: “Museums in exile”, the importance of art for the identity of peoples


“Museums in Exile” can be seen at the MoCo Montpellier Contemporain until February 5, 2023.

Three art collections and as many acts of resistance to dictatorship, war or colonization are the subject of an exhibition at the contemporary art museum of Montpellier, the Mo.Co. These are the collections of Chile, Sarajevo and the Palestinian Territories. All formed in exile, the first two returned to their respective countries: after the fall of Pinochet for Chile and after the war in the former Yugoslavia for Sarajevo. There remains the Palestinian collection still in exile and hosted by the Arab World Institute in Paris.
