Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, to meet the challenge posed to the architects, designed a building in the form of a giant Meccano, which immediately stood out in the Parisian architectural landscape. The architectural project, as described in the competition rules, had to meet the requirements of multidisciplinarity, free movement and open exhibition spaces. This competition was won by two young architects, the Italian Renzo Piano and the Briton Richard Rogers, by proposing a building in the spirit of libertarian architecture characteristic of the 1960s.

Moored to the outside on the east façade, and used as cladding for the structure, the technical ducts stand out in four colors: blue for air, green for fluids, yellow for electrical ducts and red for circulation.

Without Camille Pissarro, there is no Impressionist movement. He is rightfully known as the father of Impressionism. It was a dramatic path that Pissarro followed, and throughout it all he wrote extensively to his family. It is through these intimate and revealing letters that this gripping film reveals Pissarro’s life and work.

As the UK’s first ever public museum (it opened its doors in May 1683) it houses a wonderfully rich collection, including the remarkable Pissarro archive.
