The Tower: artworks to discover as a family

1st floor

Dans la forêt: a vast, colorful mural by Etel Adnan

In The Tower auditorium, the wall becomes a landscape. This large mural—14 meters long and 4 meters high—sets trees dancing in a breeze of color: orange, yellow, green, blue…

2nd floor

Isometric Slides: two giant slides, 12 meters high, by artist Carsten Höller

At The Tower, you can slide your way down! These large slides invite children and adults alike to glide together—and even race each other.
The slides are accessible to children measuring at least 110 cm (3 ft 7 in).

Take Your Time: a large rotating circular mirror by Olafur Eliasson

Look up! Suspended from the ceiling, Take Your Time slowly turns like a magical mirror. As you walk beneath it, everything seems to move—the light, the space, even ourselves.

Laguna Gloria: a sound landscape by Liam Gillick

An imaginary garden has taken root inside The Tower. Here, visitors can sit, close their eyes, and let themselves be carried away by the sounds and atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind space.

From the 7th to the 9th floors

Day Light Songs (biting the air): an artwork by Helen Marten

Located in the stairwells, this work invites playful looking. Among abstract and geometric shapes, you can spot hearts, flowers, insects, or stars.

From the 8th to the 9th floors

Open Space: a distinctive environment by designer Konstantin Grcic

At the very top of The Tower, an unexpected space awaits: it looks like a street—yet it’s indoors. Benches, streetlights, trash cans… everything you’d usually find outside is here.
From these floors, visitors can admire the city and have fun spotting Arles’ landmarks, while taking in views of the Camargue and the Alpilles.

All of these spaces in The Tower are freely accessible, with no reservation or admission ticket required.

The Garden: artworks to discover as a family

OooOoO: a rounded, phosphorescent skatepark designed by KOO JEONG A

Just next to The Tower, artist KOO JEONG A has created a glowing skatepark. By day, its smooth, curving shapes come into view; by night, it lights up. You can skate, scooter, ride a bike—or simply watch.

Krauses Gekröse: a giant 13-meter-high sculpture by artist Franz West

In the park, a large pink sculpture immediately catches the eye. With its loops and curves, this monumental work invites everyone to imagine what it might represent: a flamingo? A giant piece of chewing gum? It’s up to you.

Seven Sliding Doors Corridor (Outdoor Version): a magical corridor by Carsten Höller

A mirrored corridor, seven doors that move as you approach… this is Seven Sliding Doors Corridor (Outdoor Version). You enter from one side, exit from another, catch glimpses of yourself and others—and sometimes jump in surprise.

MEMORY: a mosaic floor by Kerstin Brätsch

For once, you can walk on a work of art! You move across it as if inside a painting, having fun spotting shapes: a shark? a dragon? or funny little creatures?
For the artist, it is “a painting turned toward the sky,” like a cloud you watch for a long time until imaginary forms begin to appear.

Orientation Platforms: a group of colorful sculptures by Liam Gillick

Scattered throughout the park, you’ll spot five curious, brightly colored sculptures. It’s fun to try and find them all as you stroll around.

Membrane: a tower-like structure by Philippe Parreno

Located on the park’s large lawn, this work by Philippe Parreno resembles an antenna. This unusual tower listens to and captures everything around it—wind, light, sounds, ground vibrations—and transforms it all into a mysterious melody.

The park is public and open every day, and can be explored freely.
