FOUJITA CHAPEL

The Our Lady of Peace Chapel is a testament to the artistic talent of the French-Japanese artist Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886-1968), who designed and decorated the entire chapel himself between 1965 and 1966. The whimsical painter from the School of Paris, who converted to Christianity in Reims in 1959, draws us into his world, mixing Japanese culture with references to the Italian Renaissance. Blessed in 1966, this chapel is closely connected to the Museum of Fine Arts, which houses a large collection of the artist’s works. Léonard Foujita and his last wife, Kimiyo, are buried here.
