Kamel Mennour and his gallery to donate an exceptional selection of 180 artworks to the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris 

Kamel Mennour and his gallery are making an exceptional donation of 180 artworks to the collections of the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris (MAM).

This donation, expected to include more than 45 artists, will reflect the richness and diversity of the gallery’s history since its creation in 1999, as well as the quality of its unique vision. This donation is another demonstration of Kamel Mennour’s deep attachment to the art capital that is the City of Paris, and to the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris.

Mennour is a leading contemporary force in the international art gallery scene. Its programming has consistently contributed to the promotion of artists from the cosmopolitan French scene and beyond. 

The 180 artworks will officially join the MAM’s permanent collections once the acquisition and validation processes have been completed by Paris Musées, as well as the French government. 

These works will enable the museum to preserve and represent a sample of the current artistic landscape, highlighting the crucial role played by galleries in supporting artists. 

The Mennour donation will be exhibited from 2027 in the ARC rooms on museum’s top floor. The exhibition will be accompanied by an extensive catalogue.
