Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Agen, Art museum in Agen, France
The Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Agen occupies four Renaissance mansions in the city center, displaying artworks from ancient times to the present day. The collections spread across multiple floors and include paintings, sculptures, and archaeological objects from various cultures.
The museum was founded in 1876 after a collection effort began in 1836 to preserve regional artworks. The Academic Society of Agen played a key role in establishing and developing the institution.
The collection features Spanish paintings by artists like Goya alongside works from France, Flanders, and the Netherlands spanning several centuries. These artworks show the artistic connections that shaped the region's cultural landscape.
The museum offers guided tours through the collections and hosts temporary exhibitions throughout the year. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore the different areas spread across multiple floors.
The museum preserves the Venus of Mas d'Agenais and a Gallic bucket from Ermitage, two significant archaeological finds from the region. These objects reveal how far back the artistic heritage of this place extends.
