Mattatoio

I had high hopes for this space since I had read it was a contemporary art museum on the site of a former slaughterhouse. However, when I got there, the police who were on premise told me it was a university. There was absolutely no sign indicating there was any art activity. I wish there were more to see.

Very very interesting experience.... loved all that we were able to see. The spray can paintings, the installations, the little market at the back. Very very nice. Although we were a little tired. Sadly we had informed at the booking counter that there was live music and that we could not find. But we did see a light and music display which was mesmerising.

Amazing place, really like it. Very similar to “el matadeiro “ in Madrid, I think that it has a great potential and I’m curious to see what it will become in few years. We saw the world press photo exhibition, which was very interesting and funny (in 1 hour you can see everything even reading all the captions that are super interesting). Recommend it!

Had a great time in the museum. Almost got to meet the painter at the exhibition. The whole complex is wonderful. It has been renovated from the meat factory into the cultural center so there is a lot of life and sound. Check out the huge sticker wall near the southern wall and multiple graffitis.

An extremely versatile space for art, performance, music, public meetings has emerged from a slaughterhouse. The often creepy dismantled structures somewhat live together with the new intended use, making it one of the most interesting cultural areas of the city.

Went to see the World Press exhibition at the Mattatoio. The location is very nice and well equipped for this kind of exhibitions.

This building looks beautiful from the outside but it was an abattoir so it's pretty brutal on the inside. Even if they have cleaned it up a lot for the exhibitions, they left the rails and hooks for the carcasses in place. I think they should remove them. It was weird looking at an exhibit on the brutality of war in Ukraine given the brutal past of the building housing it. Nonetheless, that exhibit was touching and well done. Worth the visit. We did not see the other exhibit as there was a fee and while we were willing to pay for a similar exhibition, the description suggested it could be modern art which is not our thing.

very nice smaller modern art museum. the expo of ivory coast art & photos is impressive. great spaces. only about 20 min of museum fun — but for 5 eur worth it!
