The Provençal town of Mougins—a petite, picturesque spiral perched on a hilltop between Cannes and Grasse—has proved irresistible to many artists, among them Francis Picabia, Fernand Léger, Jean Cocteau, Isadora Duncan, and Man Ray. The town is now home to the first private museum in Europe exclusively dedicated to art created by women. It’s an eye-catching endeavor on the part of the art collector Christian Levett, who showcased his collection of classical antiquities in this space—which was known as the Mougins Museum of Classical Art—from 2011 until last year. The museum displays just over 100 artworks, around a fourth of Levett’s collection of pieces made by women such as Frida Kahlo, Lee Krasner, and Marina Abramović. His bold mission combined with an intensely focused execution—only one to five works by each artist—produces a revelatory vision of women’s creative power. FAMM is less a museum than a temple, a place of communion with the spirit of the artists who have always been there, whether or not we knew their names. —Joanna Scutts
