Draft:FAMM


FAMM (Female Artists of the Mougins Museum) is a private museum located in Mougins in Provence (south of France), near Cannes. Founded by British art collector Christian Levett, it is the first museum in continental Europe dedicated exclusively to works by female artists. The museum, previously known as the Musée d'Art Classique de Mougins (MACM), was rebranded and relaunched in 2024 to focus entirely on women artists. This shift followed Levett’s growing interest in postwar and contemporary art, particularly the work of female artists, which he found to be undervalued in the art market​​​. It showcases a diverse collection of over a hundred artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs from approximately 90 artists worldwide ; Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Leonora Carrington, Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Alice Neel, Marina Abramović, Frida Kahlo, Tracey Emin, Jenny Saville, Sarah Lucas to mention but a few. The museum's collection spans several major artistic movements, from Impressionism to contemporary art.[1][1]
