Your events at the MBAL
The Musée des Beaux-Arts Le Locle (MBAL), a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture in its specific version of the Style sapin unique to the Canton of Neuchâtel, was designed by the architects Crivelli between 1906 and 1913 and completely restored in 2014. It has a total of seven rooms that can be rented during the day and also in the evening from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. for your exclusive use.
The rooms we offer for rent host temporary exhibitions. Your events will take place surrounded by the works hanging on the walls, in a unique and extraordinary setting. For this reason, certain safety restrictions must be observed and there may be structural and scheduling limitations.
The museum can host all kinds of events, including conferences, after-work gatherings, team meals, yoga classes, and even your children’s birthday parties. Be creative!
