FRAC : regional fund of contemporary art

Established in Dunkerque since 1996, the FRAC Nord-Pas-de-Calais has a rich and representative collection of contemporary art of the last 30 years of nearly 1500 works. Designed by architects Lacaton & Vassal as an "open house", the new FRAC Nord-Pas-de-Calais building has 6 levels of exhibition, work and meeting spaces where everyone will be invited to live an experience with contemporary art. By building a translucent binoculars at the historic Pre-fabrication Workshop No. 2 (AP2), the last remnant of the shipyards Naval de France, the architects gave the FRAC a unique place.
