Musée des Beaux-Arts de Béziers, museum in Béziers, France

The musée des Beaux-Arts de Béziers occupies the Hôtel Fayet at 9 rue du Capus, a townhouse given to the city by Gustave Fayet's family in 1966 and made the museum's annexe in the early 1980s. Its pale beige stone facade has two storeys of tall windows with grey shutters, a wrought-iron balcony joining the two central lower windows, and a balustrade with finials below a red-tiled roof and a central pediment carved with an oval shield. Inside are 19th-century paintings and sculptures and the studio collection of sculptor Jean-Antoine Injalbert, left to the city by his widow in 1934.

The museum was founded in 1859 by Béziers' archaeological, scientific and literary society and opened in the Hôtel de ville. It moved in 1903 into the hôtel particulier that Auguste Fabrégat had left to the town in 1879. In 1966 Gustave Fayet's family gave his house at 9 rue du Capus to the town; in the early 1980s it became the museum's annexe, mainly for the Injalbert works left by his widow in 1934.

Gustave Fayet was born in this hôtel particulier in 1865 and lived there until 1905; in 2019 it received the Maisons des Illustres label in his memory. The building now holds 19th-century paintings and sculptures as well as the studio collection of sculptor Jean-Antoine Injalbert.

The museum is approximately a twelve-minute walk from Béziers train station and is accessible by bicycle, electric bike, or car, with nearby bus stops and parking available. It operates from March to December, Tuesday through Saturday, with guided tours available upon request and multilingual staff to assist international visitors.

The Injalbert holdings came to the city through his widow, who left the sculptor's works to Béziers in 1934; they were installed in the Hôtel Fayet when it became the museum's annexe in the early 1980s. The building itself is where Gustave Fayet was born in 1865 and lived until 1905, and it received the Maisons des Illustres label in 2019.
