Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré CCC OD

1 parvis Jean Germain, 37000 Tours

Situated in the historic heart of Tours, just a stone’s throw from the Loire, the art centre has been housed since 2017 in a new building designed by the architects Aires Mateus. The CCC OD has been designated a “Centre for Contemporary Art of National Interest” by the Ministry of Culture.

In the heart of the Loire Valley, the CCC OD provides the city of Tours with a dynamic creative hub with an international reach. Its elegant 4,500 m² building was designed by the architectural firm Aires Mateus: it houses four exhibition spaces, two auditoriums, a café and a bookshop. A place for sharing, living and meeting, the CCC OD offers the public the opportunity to truly experience art: it is in this spirit that the programme creates a dialogue between the work of Olivier Debré, a major figure in 20th-century painting, and the very latest creative works. All the exhibitions, which are temporary, are accompanied by a personalised and bespoke visitor experience.
