The Venet Foundation is currently closed.
For the Summer 2025 Season, we will open our doors to the public from Thursday, May 22nd to Tuesday, September 30th.
Guided Visits
Guided visits offer a tour of the sculpture parks, and the seasonal exhibitions in the gallery and factory spaces, highlighting not only the progression of Venet’s work across his career but also in the context of Conceptual and Minimal art. Visiting these spaces is to see and understand the particular history of Bernar Venet and his wife Diane, as well as the ties of friendship created through acquisitions from their artist friends since the 1960s that form the basis of the permanent collection.
We are only open for guided visits (approx. 25 visitors per group), led by members of our team. We cannot allow access outside of the guided tours, as certain parts of the property remain private spaces for the Venet family. Private visits can be made available upon request.
Advanced online reservations are mandatory. We do not sell tickets on site. Our online box office will open on April 1st.
Visits last about 2 hours and take place on our site on the Chemin du Moulin des Serres, 83490 Le Muy, France.
Parking for private cars is located at 150 Chemin du Moulin des Serres. Parking for buses will be at a different location on the same road. You will receive detailed parking instructions once your reservation is confirmed.
Planning your visit
We will be open from May 22nd until September 30th, from Tuesdays to Saturdays. You can arrange your guided visit on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during this period. We also offer a weekly special summer sunset visit.
All reservations must be made through the calendar on this website. We do not sell tickets over the phone or on site. Any contact numbers listed online are not valid.
We are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
All ticket sales are final and non-reimbursable.
As we are a young foundation with only a small, seasonal staff, we are currently unable to offer reduced admission for retirees, members of the press, or groups.
Visitor Guidelines
Please arrive on time (we open the property 30 minutes before the tour begins). The group visit will start on time, and late arrivals cannot be accommodated into the group.
We offer dedicated visits with French-speaking guides, and other times with English-speaking guides.
Please help us preserve the artworks on site by refraining from touching them.
Pets are not allowed on the property.
This is a long visit with a lot of gentle walking; please wear appropriate footwear.
Accessibility
The majority of the visit is step-free, though one artwork offers both above and below ground views, the latter of which is only accessible via a staircase.
There are a small number of steps to access some toilets and the onsite bookshop.
