The Nocturne on June 20 will be celebratory, in honour of the Musée’s fiftieth anniversary. The whole evening will focus on the sharing and support offered to the museum over the years by so many artists, art lovers and donors. The link between music and contemporary art, visual experimentation and sound art, will continue to be the Nocturne’s inspiration.
