La fête des plantes

Plant festival

From Friday, April 3, 2026 to Sunday, April 5, 2026

The must-attend spring event to see life in green at the Mucem!

As every year, the museum encourages visitors to rediscover its outdoor spaces with their families and reconnect with the living world during a weekend of shows, workshops, visits to the migration garden and a large plant market in the courtyard.

This new edition, “Ville-forêt” (City-forest), invites us to imagine together a city reconciled with the plant world, inspired by the forest model.

A theme to be explored from Friday April 3 with the show-event Éloge de la forêt, by Patrick Scheyder and with Thomas Brail, organized as a preamble to this weekend of (re)connection to trees and nature!
