Musée de l'Echevinage, Fine arts museum in Saintes, France

The Musée de l'Echevinage displays a collection of paintings from the 15th to 20th centuries within a historic building with a belfry.

The museum building served as the former Town Hall during the Old Regime and received its distinctive dome with lantern in 1587.

The museum collection includes works from the Saintonge and Bordeaux schools, featuring orientalist, neoclassical, and realist artistic movements of the 19th century.
