Just imagine. Music in its purest form, all in an intimate open-air venue sublimated by candlelight! That’s the magic of the Candlelight Open Air experience. This summer, music lovers and aesthetes alike can look forward to a series of unique open-air performances. An exceptional new guest: the Musée des Arts Décoratifs et du Design de Bordeaux (madd-bordeaux).
Sworn treasure hunter Candlelight operates the Musée des Arts Décoratifs et du Design, an architectural goldmine. Housed in a late 18th-century townhouse and a former 19th-century prison, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, madd-bordeaux offers an idyllic setting, in perfect harmony with Candlelight’s candlelit concerts.
A rich aristocratic heritage from Bordeaux’s Age of Enlightenment, it is a true historical and artistic land mark of Bordeaux, a major trading port in the 18th century. The museum boasts an incredible permanent collection that blends the old with the new, creating a dialogue between eras and techniques. This expertise has also earned it 2 stars in the Michelin Green Guide (the last in 2022) as a “remarkable site worth a visit”.
Art within art. Come for the decorative arts, stay for the music! If we can’t say enough good things about madd-bordeaux ‘s artistic offering, what can we say about the acoustics inthecourtyard of this private mansion?
The Bordeaux museum sublimates the masterpieces of Music. And every movement is represented in these unique musical frescoes! Candlelight transcends music and proves that there are no boundaries. From Ray Charles to hip-hop classics, there’s only one step!
