You're standing at the LaM in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, right next to Lille. Its full name is the Lille Métropole Museum of Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art. Quite a mouthful, so everyone just calls it the LaM. Have a look around you. The museum sits in a green landscape, and that was exactly the idea of architect Roland Simounet, who built it in 1983. Since 2000 his building has been a listed historic monument.
