Exhibition: The Flood and the Ark

Since the 11th century, Noah's Ark has sailed across the vaults of the Abbey of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe. In 2026, it finds a new shore: in the former monastic cells of the conventual building, transformed for the occasion into a brand-new exhibition space. Twenty-five contemporary artists take hold of the story of the flood and give it a new lease of life, just steps from the original fresco. 📍 Abbey of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe 🎟️ Exhibition included in the abbey admission ticket: - Self-guided visit: from €10 - Guided visit: €14 📅 Open until January 2028
