<p>Created in 1961, the Maison de la culture du <strong>Havre</strong> moved in 1982 to the striking space designed by architect <strong>Oscar Niemeyer</strong>, creator of Brasilia. Now an emblem of the city, this complex consists of two curved white concrete volumes, accessible by a game of ramps.</p>
<p>The larger one houses Le Havre’s Scène nationale (Le Volcan); in the Petit Volcan, on the other hand, a large, modern and comfortable library is set up.</p>
<p>The main auditorium has been refitted, the acoustics improved and the square outside redesigned.</p>
<p>The programme is packed with nationally recognised theatre productions, and dance and music events.</p>
