The Espace Frans Krajcberg, Centre for Contemporary Art & Nature
Inaugurated in 2004 by Bertrand Delanoë, the Espace Frans Krajcberg is located at the end of Chemin du Montparnasse, a bucolic alleyway whose entrance is at 21 Avenue du Maine in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of the unusual old Paris.
A vestige of Montparnasse's great history, this same lane was home to Frans Krajcberg's Parisian studio, where,
a ‘Montparno’ at heart, he came to work and recharge his batteries several times a year.
Admission is free and open to all, Tuesday to Saturday from 2pm to 6pm.
