"Nouvel espace muséal, situé sur le site de St-Jean-Des-Vignes, consacré aux expositions d'art contemporain. L'Arsenal et la poudrière voisine sont les témoins de l'occupation militaire du site de St-Jean-Des-Vignes au XIXe. Réhabilité en espace d'expositions temporaires, l'Arsenal propose des expositions orientées sur la création contemporaine et des concerts dans le cadre de Musée/Musique. Il accueille les activités pédagogiques en rapport avec les expositions et les ateliers organisés par le service du patrimoine. Sa réhabilitation progressive devrait permettre de créer un véritable site culturel orienté vers l'archéologie, le patrimoine architectural et la création contemporaine"
