The global management of monuments, museums and art centres

Culturespaces has always specialised in the global management of cultural establishments. In order to perfect the visitor experience, Culturespaces directly manages—using its own personnel—all the services offered to the visitors by the establishments: reception, ticket sales, cultural programmes, cultural gift shops, tearooms, restaurants, garden maintenance, and so on.

This management is carried out in a network and the specialised services are pooled in the head office. It is adapted to the various types of venue:
- museums and art centres, such as the Musée Jacquemart-André and the Hôtel de Caumont.
- and digital art centres, such as the Carrières des Lumières, the Atelier des Lumières and the Bassins des Lumières.

The creation of cultural establishments

Culturespaces has introduced many cultural projects. Its teams are capable of creating projects ex nihilo and ensuring the global management of new multidisciplinary art centres, such as the Hôtel de Caumont in Aix-en-Provence, which, via its temporary exhibition programme, has been visited by more than 1.5 million people since the opening in 2015.

Producing and holding temporary exhibitions

Within Culturespaces, the Exhibitions Department has a staff of ten experts who, each year, conceive and produce a minimum of six high-quality temporary exhibitions and artistic projects. The Department collaborates with an international and national network of specialists, comprised of art historians and curators from major museums, who contribute to the artistic, cultural, and scientific excellence of the projects. Culturespaces also produces two immersive digital exhibitions each year.

The creation of the ‘DES LUMIÈRES’ network of digital art centres

Culturespaces has decided to develop digital art centres in France and abroad, in parallel with its traditional activity of managing monuments, museums, and art centres. In addition to the company’s experience of organising traditional temporary exhibitions and acquiring art images, Culturespaces has developed the technology required for immersive digital exhibitions.
