Musée des Beaux-Arts de Carcassonne, Art museum in Bastide Saint-Louis, Carcassonne, France
The Musée des Beaux-Arts presents European paintings and ceramics collections spanning from the 17th century to contemporary works across eleven exhibition rooms.
Founded in 1836 in a former presidial court building, the museum received official recognition as Musée de France status in 2003 for its cultural contributions.
The museum maintains a collection of 102 paintings from the Society of Arts and Sciences dating to 1845, with regular additions from state and private donors.
