Carré d'Art Jean Bousquet is a contemporary temple facing the ancient temple, designed by Lord Norman Foster. Bringing together libraries, a media library and a museum of contemporary art on the same site, it is the mirror image of the Centre Pompidou.

With almost 500 works, the Carré d'Art collection offers a panorama of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present day. Every year, temporary exhibitions of international stature are organized on the museum's second floor.

On the first level, the permanent collection brings together art movements that originated in the South of France and Europe. It is based on the representation of movements such as Nouveau Réalisme, Supports - Surfaces and Figuration libre.
