Fondation Vasarely - a little down on its luck, but so worth visiting -for the building and the art, and the shop. Just a short bus ride from central Aix, by the Bus 4 and 6 - stop Fondation Vasarely.

As an art historian I found it sad to see the deplorable state of Vasarely's architecture. After all, the Fondation presents a unique collection of his masterpieces. The Fondation is a private museum. Obviously it needs financial support from the French minister of culture and the EC.
