Annette Messager
In the castle built by William the Conqueror, which sits high above the town, there is a modern building which houses the Art Museum of Caen. It is built within the ancient walls and the juxtaposition is dramatic.
We saw an interesting exhibition of contemporaray artists responding to the work of Alberto Giacometti the day we visited Caen. For example artists like Anthony Gormley, Annette Messager, Louise Bourgeois and Fischli Weiss were part of the show.
I particularly responded to Messagers' installation in a separate space; Deplaisir/ Plaisir.
They also have a reasonable collection but not quite as extraornirary as the one at Rouen.
