The Carre d'Art was built in 1993 by English architect Norman Foster to become Nimes media library and museum of contemporary art. A gleaming example of French architectural boldness, the Carre d'Art was designed by British architect Norman Foster. In spite of its size, this box of glass, aluminium and concrete sits modestly among the ancient roofs of Nimes, its slender portico echoing that of the Roman temple opposite. Musee Carré d'Art, Nimes modern art museum, hosts a number of visiting modern art exhibitions - see the Musee Carre d'Art, Nimes website for the latest details.
