Musée de la Chartreuse de Douai, Art museum in Douai, France

The Musée de la Chartreuse occupies a former Carthusian monastery with a high square tower, combining brick and stone in Flemish Renaissance architecture.

The building, constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, served as a military facility after the French Revolution before becoming an art museum in 1958.

The museum displays European paintings from the Middle Ages to modern times, including works by Veronese, Rubens, Renoir, and Pissarro.

Located at 130 Rue des Chartreux, the museum opens daily except Tuesdays and provides tactile models and audio guides for visitors with specific needs.

The museum's church features five side chapels displaying medieval goldwork and bronzes by Giambologna, alongside 19th-century sculptures in the main nave.
