“We are not only going to have French or local artists. We also have designers of English, American, Serbian, Ukrainian, explains Candice Labrousse, cultural mediator at MUMO. The goal is to really show the diversity of the proposals. Each artist has their own language. The objective of putting all these different languages side by side and being able to relate them.”

Since its creation in 2011, MuMo has welcomed more than 172,000 visitors. It meets residents by primarily targeting villages with less than 3,000 inhabitants and priority neighborhoods in the city. According to the museum, one in three children had never visited a museum before theirs. In partnership with the Frac (the regional contemporary art funds) of Poitou-Charentes, and the international comic strip city of Angoulême, the works presented sometimes arouse nostalgia.
Mathieu, resident of the neighborhood and is passionate about comics. He stops for a few moments in front of a board in particular, it is that of FRED, the author of the Philémon series, published in the 60s.
She told me they were original boards. It always gives a certain emotion to think that it is one of your favorite designers who touched this board.

The exhibition is aimed at as many people as possible, whether the public is knowledgeable, curious, or has never dared to enter a museum.
In terms of experience, we are close to works of art. There is no safety cord as there might be. This allows us to observe and understand them well.

“Afterwards, it is up to us to warn about the fact that these are precious and rare works of art. They should obviously not be touched. It also allows us to have a more intimate place, less impressive than a great museum”, explains Lola Biard, cultural mediator at MuMo.
The MuMo will end its adventure in Agen (Lot-et-Garonne), from December 30 to January 3. In Haute-Vienne, the museum has already stopped at Saint-Bonnet-de-Bellac and Dorat. The mobile museum will travel to the Val de l'Aurence district, in Limoges, December 26 and 27, 2024.
