Arsenal de Metz is a renowned performance space housed within a former arms factory dating back to the 19th century. Originally constructed as part of Metz’s fortifications following its annexation by Germany in 1871, it served a military purpose until after World War II. In the 1980s, it underwent extensive renovation to transform it into a cultural venue dedicated to contemporary music and performing arts. The space is known for its unique industrial architecture and acoustics, accommodating diverse artistic disciplines including concerts, theatre, dance and visual arts installations. It has become a significant cultural hub for the Grand Est region of France and hosts both established international artists and emerging talent.
