Musée municipal de Bourg-en-Bresse, Art museum in Bourg-en-Bresse, France
The Municipal Museum of Bourg-en-Bresse contains an extensive collection of paintings from Flemish, French, and Italian schools spanning from the 15th to 20th centuries.
Established in 1854, the museum relocated to the Royal Monastery of Brou in 1922, occupying one wing of the second of three cloisters within the complex.
The museum displays four paintings by Bernard Van Orley, official painter to Emperor Charles V, alongside works by Pietro della Vecchia and Francesco Fontebasso.
The museum extends over 2,198 square meters and features dedicated exhibition spaces, educational programs, and guided tours for various audience groups.
Thomas Riboud, a lawyer and deputy of Ain, donated 120 paintings in the mid-19th century, forming the core collection and saving the abbey from destruction.
