Avec plus de 41000 places (la ville de Lens ne compte que 36000 âmes !), c'est l'une des enceintes sportives les plus grandes du Nord de la France. Son envergure lui a ainsi permis de recevoir les matchs de la Coupe du Monde de Football en 1998 et plus récemment, ceux de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby en 2007. Accueillant les matchs de football de Ligue 1 des "Sang et Or", c'est un des hauts lieux où se jouent le championnat et la Coupe de France.

This museum was designed by renowned Japanese architect SANAA, and plays with the concept of inside…read morev.s. outside. The experience begins at the train station - Lens is 1hr north from Paris - and winds through a lovely wooded park to the museum. The architect's touch is present but very subtly. There is a unassuming fence of reeds on the right, wiring for path lighting weaves back and forth across the trees, the informational placards for the area have raised markings so it's a joy to see AND feel your bearings. The museum itself has a low slung profile and beautifully reflects the natural landscape around it. At times it seems the building is hardly there as trees and clouds move across its surface. The interior is just as stunning, circular pods discovered outside in the concrete are repeated inside as pop-up library, information, and eating areas. Exhibits are displayed in chronological order so it's easy for any adult or child to glance up to see what millennia they're currently "in". Best of all, there's lockers for storing your bags if you're in transit from Paris to another city and.... it's free!! (as of June 2015)

Temp exhibit on war was outstanding. The curator did a great job capturing the essence of war-related art and it's role in our understanding of conflict, I almost missed it but you can see the storage area for priceless pieces on the lower level. That was kind of cool. The food in the cafeteria was OK. Nothing special but better than your average museum cafeteria.
