Marc Chagall Museum
Museums
Created during the lifetime of the artist, with the support of the Minister of Culture André Malraux, and inaugurated in 1973, the museum is also known as the “Marc-Chagall National Biblical Message Museum” because it houses the series of seventeen paintings illustrating the biblical message, painted by Chagall and offered to the French State in 1966. This series illustrates Genesis, Exodus and the Song of Songs.
But as the collections grew, what was a thematic museum illustrating the biblical message became a true monographic museum dedicated to the religious and spiritual work of Chagall. In 1972, the painter gave the museum all the preparatory sketches of the Biblical Message as well as stained glass and sculptures, and in 1986, the museum acquired by dation, the complete suite of sketches and gouaches made for the Exodus as well as ten other paintings , which includes the triptych Resistance, Resurrection, Liberation. Other acquisitions have come to complete the museum’s collections, which today have one of Marc Chagall’s largest collections of works.
