The building is handsome, a former episcopal residence, but the contents are at present a letdown, since the museum is being reorganized and only four rooms are open. What we saw was interesting enoug... more »

L'exposition Indigo, couleurs du Monde , meriterait une grande affluence par la richesse et la variete des pieces exposees. Un mince article, page 39 de "vivre Nimes" m'a incitee a la visiter . Une belle affiche, peu diffusee dans la ville, devrait nous y attirer. Faites l'effort de visiter ce musee archaique, l'expo est magnifique. Mais...pas de siege pour visionner les videos, une atmosphere d'ennui derriere les stores baisses, une odeur de vetuste et...dans certaines salles, d'alcool mal digere. Quel dommage! Merci a la styliste Catherine Legrand qui nous presente des cultures incroyablement riches et creatives.

Exposure Indigo, colors of the world, deserves a big rush by the richness and variety of the exposed parts. Got a thin section, page 39 "live Nimes" prompted a visit. A beautiful poster, little broadcast in the city, should us attract. Make the effort to visit this archaic Museum, the expo is magnificent. But... no seat to view the videos, an atmosphere of boredom behind blinds declines, a smell of aging and... in some rooms, evil digere alcohol. What a pity! Thanks to stylist Catherine Legrand which we present creative and incredibly rich cultures.

NIMOIS,NIMOISES, je viens ici pour exprimer une déception...... Je voulais allée voir ceci: Exposée au Musée du Vieux Nîmes du 17 septembre 2014 au 31 janvier 2015. c'est exposition de photos. Dans le cadre de l’exposition du fonds de photographies du musée sur la ville de Nîmes, la conservatrice (Aleth Jourdan) m’a invitée pour participer à cette exposition et dévoiler un regard contemporain sur la ville de Nîmes qui entrerai en complémentarité des photographies d’archives présentes. SI JE SUIS DECUE c'est par ce que je suis allée au musée jeudi matin pour accompagner la classe de mon fils et à cette occasion j'ai voulu en savoir un peut plus sur cette expo Par ma grande surprise j'ai vu qui fesait l'expo une photographe dîplomait (certe de l'école des beaux arts) mais une personne que je connais et qui a plusieur reprise nous avait dit que les nimois étaient CONS et qu'elle ne suporter pas la ville de Nîmes et qu'elle espérait de partir de cette ville..... Alors si cette artiste n'aime pas nîmes, pourquoi faire une expo sur notre ville???? Alors qu'il y a beaucoup d'ariste Nîmois peintres, photographes qui aiment cette ville, Mais qui galérent pour faire une expo aussi importente..... Moi je ne trouve pas cela normal, peut être que cela ne va pas dérenger mais moi oui.....

NÎMES, NIMOISES, I come here to express a disappointment... I wanted gone see this: at the Museum of the old Nîmes by September 17, 2014, to January 31, 2015. It is exhibition of photographs. Exhibition Fund of photographs of the Museum on the city of Nimes, curator (Aleth Jourdan) invited me to participate in this exhibition and unveil a contemporary look at the city of Nîmes who will go complementing these archival photographs. If I am disappointed by what I went to the Museum Thursday morning to accompany the class my son and on this occasion I wanted to know one can show by my surprise I saw that fesait expo a diplomait (School of fine arts certe) photographer but a person I know and has taken several told us that the Nîmes were CONS and it does handle not the city Nîmes and hoped to leave this town... So if this artist does not like nimes, why make an exhibition about our city? While there are many ariste Nîmes painters, photographers who love this city, but that galerent to do an expo also importente... Me I do not find it normal, may be it will not derenger but me Yes...
