THE HOME : Rentals, Experiences, Places
28 AUGUST – 29 OCTOBER 2020

During Manifesta 13 Marseille, Musée Grobet-Labadié explored and reimagined our contemporary notion of The Home.

Musée Grobet-Labadié was built in the 19^th century by French architect Gabriel Clauzel for Alexandre Labadié, a wealthy local politician. The house was left to his daughter Marie Grobet and her husband Louis Grobet who subsequently acquired numerous art works and pieces of furniture, ranging from the Middle Ages to the 20^th century, whilst travelling through Europe. In 1919, after her husband’s death, Marie Grobet donated the private house and the collection to the city of Marseille.

Situated next to Palais Longchamp, Musée Grobet-Labadié is a historic home which has been turned into a museum and therefore allows for visitors to gain a better understanding of the multi-layers of social history.  This museum presents a 19^th Century French affluent family’s domestic space that has been frozen in time.
