Museum of Fine Arts The city's cultural treasure

In its galleries, the museum of Fine Arts presents a rich collection of French and European paintings (Van Dyck, Rubens, Delacroix, Goya, etc.), sculptures (Rodin, Claudel, Carpeaux, etc.), drawings (including 40 sheets by Raphael), ceramics and other astonishing works, such as the relief plans of some 15 towns in Flanders, fortified by Vauban in the 17th century.

The charm of the building, combined with the finesse of the works of art on display, transforms a simple visitor’s tour into a fully-fledged experience, combining cultural and architectural discoveries.

Whether on your own or with the help of a tour guide, the 16 rooms and 2 basements will introduce you to classical, neoclassical, impressionist, romantic, realist, contemporary and other masterpieces.

Occasionally, the auditorium at the rear of the museum opens its doors for lectures, screenings, master classes and other demonstrations dedicated to music or the visual arts.
