The Museums of Marseille and ADIAF, the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art, have joined forces to present the exhibition Climate Life: Sensitive Stories from Private Collections, as part of the 8th edition of the Triennale De leur temps, which highlights works acquired over the last three years by collectors committed to promoting contemporary art.

La vie climatique. Histoires sensibles des collections privées brings together 136 works from more than 70 French and international private collections and Marseille patrons, covering all fields of creation: painting, video, sculpture, performance, and installation.

The exhibition explores the collection as a living ecosystem and questions the “ideal climate” of museums—that stable and controlled environment—in the face of the ecological, political, and social upheavals of the contemporary world.
