The secret life of the campus: 1% art

Tuesday, September 18, 2018 from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Campus Triolet , place de la Garrigue (BU Sciences)

In the bend of a bosquet, on the corner of a building, on the wall of an amphitheater, the 1% artistic can be found everywhere.

The 1% art mark?

These are works of art that are often misunderstood, abused or lost, and yet were designed to bring contemporary art to the general public. It was thanks to André Malraux's decision in 1951 to set up this very special scheme - under which 1% of the budget for any construction, renovation or restoration work is allocated to artistic creation - that the campus has been adorned with numerous works of art from the outset.

On the occasion of the 1% Art Days and the restructuring of the Triolet campus, the Historical Heritage Department invites you on a tour worthy of a detective story, to discover the hidden treasures of the University of Montpellier and better understand the evolution of the way in which this ever-changing heritage is viewed.
