FRAC Centre

The FRAC Centre is a contemporary art museum in the Centre-Val de Loire region in France, part of the national FRAC network of regional art collections. It is based in Orleans. In 2013, it moved onto the site of a former military base, with a new museum building designed by Jacob + MacFarlane.

Since 1999, FRAC Centre has organized a series of contemporary art exhibits featuring both local and global work, titled ArchiLab and focused on architecture. Other museums have held exhibits dedicated to the FRAC Centre collection, including Tokyo's Mori Art Museum[1] and the Barbican's Future City exhibit in 2007.[2]
