Le Consortium is a contemporary art center in Dijon. Founded in 1977, the museum's objective is the production and exhibition of contemporary works, the enrichment of the public heritage in this sector, its promotion and dissemination, as well as the training of young artists. Since 2011, the museum has been housed in a 4000 square meter building, designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. The museum includes a permanent collection and organizes numerous temporary exhibitions. The Consortium's collection, now on permanent display on the first floor of the building, includes just over 350 works. Essentially made up of donations from the artists who exhibited there, it is a real memory of the exhibitions that took place there.

The museum was born in the 1970s thanks to the organization of temporary exhibitions by avant-garde artists of the late 1970s, such as Christian Boltanski, Hans Peter Feldmann, Annette Messager, Cindy Sherman and Daniel Buren, Carl Andre and Richard Prince, Bertrand Lavier and Hans Haacke. After exhibiting minimal and conceptual art, the Pictures Generation and the abstract experiences that extend Neo-Geo in the 1980s, Le Consortium accompanied, in the 1990s, the emergence of a new generation of artists from the Young British Artists (Liam Gillick, Angela Bulloch, or Gillian Wearing) to artists such as Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Maurizio Cattelan, Carsten Höller, Ugo Rondinone, Philippe Parreno. During the 2000s Le Consortium organized the exhibitions of several American artists exhibiting in France for the first time, such as Christopher Wool, Kelley Walker, Rachel Feinstein, Josh Smith, Rachel Harrison, Wade Guyton, Joe Bradley, Roe Ethridge, Brian Calvin, Alex Israel, Oscar Tuazon, Larri Pittman, also dedicating retrospective exhibitions to the work of Lynda Benglis, Dadamaino, Luigi Ontani or Phillip King.
