Start this hunt by “the Source of the invasion” at the foot of the Ingres Bourdelle museum, rue du Tescou. This work pays tribute to the city’s renowned artist: Ingres. From there, go in search of ten other little characters who will surprise you as long as you are observant …

Découvrir

Invader is a Montpellier artist who has invaded the world with his mosaics inspired by aliens from the famous eponymous video game of the 80s.

The artist chooses his locations according to various criteria: aesthetic or tactical. Invader’s approach can be summed up in three points: the encounter between the mosaic and the pixel, the transposition of the video game into reality and a process of invasion on a planetary scale.

As for its invasion of Montauban, the landing took place in August 2009 through the exhibition “Ingres and the Moderns” at the Ingres Museum.

Good to know

A map indicating the location of the Space Invaders is to be collected free of charge at the reception of the tourist office.

toute une histoire

You will inevitably come across the sculptures of another child from the “country”: the sculptures of Antoine Bourdelle. Step by step, you will be able to admire a total of ten bronze works: Sappho playing the melody, Penelope awaiting her Ulysses or the enigmatic Last Centaur.

The artists of yesterday inspire the artists of today, along the unveiled aisles.

Departing from the Esplanade des Fontaines, discover Cleopatra by Flavio de Faveri, then climb back up to the wave in homage to Camille Claudel. A little further on, at the kiosk, admire the monumental arrows that seem to have been shot by Heracles emerging from the ground installed a little further on, on the belvedere overlooking the Jardin des Plantes.
