Eugène Leroy's Contribution to MUba Eugène-Leroy
In 2009, the city council of Tourcoing accepted a significant donation of works and archives from the artist Eugène Leroy, proposed by his estate represented by his sons Eugène, Jean, and Jean-Jacques Leroy. The donation included fifty-four paintings, one hundred and forty drawings, eighteen sketchbooks, 99 engravings, and thirteen sculptures, nearly six hundred works valued at 2.5 million euros. This made Eugène Leroy, who was born in Tourcoing in 1910 and died in 2000, a central figure of the museum's scientific project. This extensive collection of Leroy's works provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore the artist's legacy.
