Le Tripostal

About

Built in the 1950s to sort the mail of the Lille Metropolis, then converted into a cultural venue for Lille 2004, European Capital of Culture, the Tripostal has become a major space for contemporary creation. Without being an art centre or a museum, it is a place of art and life, located in the heart of the city, between the Lille Flandres and Lille Europe stations. It has three floors of 2000 m² each, which gives it excellent scenographic flexibility. It is also a performance and party venue, with a children’s area, a shop/bookshop and a bar/restaurant. Among the major exhibitions hosted by lille3000 in recent years, let’s mention The Silk Road / Saatchi Gallery in 2010, Happy Birthday / Galerie Perrotin in 2013, Secret Passions / Flemish Private Collections in 2014, Seoul, vite, vite & You have to change your life in 2015, Performance! / 40 years of the Centre Pompidou”in 2017 or Eldorama in 2019.
