The building is a work of art in itself, constructed in 1976 and inspired by Bauhaus architecture: it is formed of 16 impressive hexagonal units. In this architecturally unique building are 42 life-size monumental works by Vasarely, known as the father of "cinetism", and a room dedicated to optical art.Victor Vasarely's project was both architectural and social: to show that art can be incorporated in architecture to enhance everyday life.
The works use a variety of techniques (reliefs, painting and transparencies) and different materials (wood, metal and plastics). Vasarely's aim is to "give you something to see." He uses geometry by combining shapes and colours, he creates volume, space and movement. The visitor becomes a participant; the eye is captivated by the diversity of optical effects which merge with the extraordinary architecture of the rooms. Temporary exhibitions by well-known artists are also held throughout the year in a vast gallery, as well as the International Architecture Forums.
