Located on the Parc des Ateliers, a former railway wasteland covering an area of 11 hectares, LUMA Arles is a unique place where the abstract LUMA Tower, designed by architect Frank Gehry, exists in perfect harmony with seven former factories from the industrial heritage of the 19th century.
The gardens, park and pond surrounding the campus are the work of landscape architect Bas Smets. Designed as a journey throught the region by the flora and fauna that inhabit it, the 4-hectare park is a place of life, exchanges and leisure open to all. As you stroll, works, sculptures or installations are revealed, extending the discovery.
Freshly inaugurated on June 26, 2020, LUMA Arles will host exhibitions each year by major artists, works by great figures of contemporary creation, specific commissions and in-situ projects.
