I really liked this modern art museum, it has good location - close to the port and beach, interesting exhibitions on four floors, excellent children's play area for children on the ground floor - with lots of games and books. The ticket price for an adult is only 4€.

This museum has a very nice collection of contemporary art. When we visited there was a joint exposition together with the other museum just across called Lieu d’Art et Action Contemporaine (Museum of Contemporary Arts). We enjoyed the visit that develops over 4 different floors that mix physical pieces of art, visual and digital art. I haven’t spotted big names but for sure there were many interesting pieces. The museum is modern and well kept. It extends on one warehouse which gives a very impactful atmosphere to the pieces exposed. There are a small bar and shop inside. We visited on the first Sunday of the month and the entrance was for free! Highly recommended when you are in Dunkerque.

We loved the FRAC which is located in a building that is matching an adjacent container terminal next to the port of Dunkerque. Very nice exhibition celebrating the 40 year anniversary of the center and breathtaking views on the beach and North Sea coastline.

Lots of interesting exhibits in a great post industrial building. Worth visiting. Lots of provocative pieces. Not always sure what's an exhibit and what's part of the building! It turned out that the "click, click, click" in the section that was inviting me to reflect on the constraints of time and space was not an installation but a bucket catching drips.

Of course you need to like modern art to enjoy this place. But if you keep in mind that Sundays the entrance is for free. Why not! Great location as well.
