"Distinctive and defying categorization, the work of Marc Chagall (1887–1985) draws on a wide range of influences, stemming from his cultural heritage and the experiences that marked his long career as a painter in Russia, France, and the United States. In each of these places, the artist proved deeply receptive to artisanal, traditional, and folk practices, drawing inspiration from the traditions, craftsmanship, and cultures he encountered throughout his life."

In 2022–2023, Bella and Meret Meyer, the granddaughters of Marc Chagall, enabled 141 of works made by their grandfather to enter the national collections through several exceptional donations to the National Museum of Modern Art, Centre Georges Pompidou. First shown in Paris in 2023-2024, the collection of works will be displayed at the Marc Chagall National Museum, where it will be presented in two volumes.It showcases the richness and diversity of Chagall's work and offers a journey through four collections.

The exhibition is organised in two volumes, with a rotation of works, from 7 February to 17 May 2026, then from 23 May to 21 September 2026.
