Musée Parcelle473 can host seminars, afterworks, team building, business breakfasts, cocktails, project launches, graduation ceremonies, workshops and filming, in more than 300 square meters set aside for events. The museum is devoted to urban art and occupies a former wine estate on the Malbosc hill, in the upper part of Montpellier.
Seminars and company events
The museum is run by a nonprofit association recognized as serving the public interest, and it takes bookings for professional and private events all year. Renting the venue also funds the association's artistic and educational projects.
Two set formats are published. The afterwork runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and combines a guided tour of the museum with an aperitif. The business breakfast runs from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and pairs a guided tour with breakfast. Any other event, from a seminar to a product launch, is priced on request according to the program and options.
Options include a video projector, drinks and aperitifs, a caterer, a host or hostess at the door, a tasting of regional wine and cheese, wine by the bottle, a workshop in which the group creates a shared artwork, a talk or session with an artist, and cleaning. The booking form asks for the type of event, the number of guests, the date and the length of the hire in hours, so groups can request a short slot or a longer day.
Rooms and capacities
The museum covers 1,500 square meters, of which 380 are given over to exhibitions. More than 300 square meters are available for events, in a former wine storehouse that opens onto a park. The site does not publish a maximum number of guests or capacities by layout, so ask for the figure that fits your format.
Outside, picnic tables and deckchairs sit under large trees next to the food truck. A double-decker bus from the 1960s stands on the grounds and serves as the museum's workshop space for children and families.
Catering
A food truck on site serves cold drinks, coffee and light meals during opening hours. For events, catering is supplied by a caterer through the museum, with a proposal on request, and drinks, aperitifs and a regional wine and cheese tasting can be added.
History and setting
The museum stands on Le Coteau, a family wine estate founded in 1894. Its permanent collection comes from donations and loans by artists and collectors, and temporary exhibitions change through the year; the current one runs from October 1, 2026 to January 28, 2027. Galerie473, a bookshop and a shop with editions made with exhibited artists complete the visit.
The double-decker bus was built in England and first ran in London. It then became a bar on the banks of the Seine in Paris, near the Centre Pompidou, and was painted in 1993 by Speedy Graphito, a leading figure of French street art. The museum's founder brought it to the estate, and a crowdfunding campaign is open to restore it as a traveling museum.
The museum is open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday and closed on Monday and Tuesday.
Getting there
The address is 425 avenue des Frères Buhler, 34080 Montpellier. The Malbosc – Domaine d'Ô stop on tram line 1 is eight minutes away on foot. The estate has its own private parking.
