From May 5, 2023 to May 6, 2024
Musée international d’art naïf Anatole Jakovsky – Château Sainte-Hélène, Av de Fabron
The museum gave Ben carte blanche to occupy over 500 m² of the space usually dedicated to naïve, outsider, and singular art, bringing his work with affection and humor throughout the year.
See the exhibition on the City’s website
The exhibition "On est tous fous" tells the story of a meeting between Ben’s works (more than 200), pieces from his own collection (over 150), and selected works from the original collection of Anatole and Renée Jakovsky. This collection enabled the creation of the museum in 1982 and has since grown to nearly 3,000 items through gifts, bequests, donations, and acquisitions. It is also the encounter between Ben and his audience. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in his universe and even participate, notably through a suggestion box.
"I start from the premise that every artist has a touch of madness they would like to reveal, but dare not."

Group exhibitions with Ben:
Deux peaux de bananes
My drawing “Two Banana Skins”, exhibited by Ben at the International Museum of Naïve Art Anatole Jakovsky in Nice.
Ce jour là j’ai fait au moins deux bonnes choses:
- "I ate two bananas."
- "I drew the two banana peels."
