From 6 April to 29 June 2025, the exhibition A Modern Nature at the Crédac in Ivry-sur-Seine invites 20 contemporary artists to examine our relationship with the environment and an increasingly fragile natural world.
Their works – paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations – interact with the garden of the artist Derek Jarman, who drew strength, hope and resilience from it in the face of illness.
Botanical exhibitions, artistic performances and cultural festivals: discover the top events between the Jardin des Plantes and MacVal.
Admire the glasshouses of the Jardin des Plantes, visit the Gobelins district and head to the MacVal - the contemporary art museum in Val de Marne - to see the latest exhibitions.
Explore the galleries of the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, wander through the Jardin des Plantes, discover street art murals and immerse yourself in contemporary art.
From flower-filled alleys to art-filled wastelands, you'll find an itinerary full of surprises.
From the Jardin des Plantes, take metro line 7 from Place Monge to Villejuif - Louis Aragon, then bus 172 to the MAC VAL stop. This journey of about 40 minutes takes you directly to the Musée d'Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne.
