FAMM
Jacqueline Lamba
FAMM is a museum in Mougins, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, presenting four floors of art from Impressionism to the present. The museum highlights the perspectives and talents of female artists through thematic and chronological displays that support focused learning and discovery. Visitors can book individual visits to explore the collection independently; note that no bags are allowed for security.
Group options include guided tours offered in multiple languages with a maximum of 15 participants, and autonomous visits with a personal guide limited to 10 participants—reservations are required online in advance. These small-group formats create intimate viewing conditions suited to schools, community groups, and visitors seeking close engagement with the works.
Educational programs include Atelier Jeune Public: Action ! Expression !, a sensory mini tour paired with a free-form workshop and group sharing that introduces abstract expressionism through play and color. Special events such as the Journées Européennes du (P)Matrimoine 2025 feature guided tours focused on women architects and the museum's architectural context, often paired with a creative workshop.
FAMM’s combination of chronological collections, themed exhibitions, multilingual guided experiences, and hands-on workshops provides a clear, credible offering for learners and art lovers. Reservations, language options, and explicit group size limits help set visitor expectations.
