Musée des Beaux-Arts de Troyes, Art museum in the Abbey of Saint Loup, Troyes, France.

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Troyes occupies the former Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Loup and displays paintings from the 14th to 19th centuries alongside medieval sculptures. The collections fill multiple rooms of the cloister building and span different artistic periods and regional developments.

In 1792 the departmental assembly planned a museum and sent commissioners to gather objects, while architect Milony stored statues from suppressed churches in the ground floor of Saint-Loup Abbey. The project lapsed until the Société académique de l'Aube revived it in 1829; the town granted the abbey and a first room opened in 1831 with seven paintings, ten statues and a mineralogical collection. Dominique Morlot's 1833 donation added 46 paintings, enamels, models and plans.

The museum keeps more than twenty paintings by Charles-Joseph Natoire, made for châteaux around Troyes, some commissioned by the statesman Philibert Orry. Pierre Mignard, born in the city, is represented by Saint Luke Painting the Virgin of 1695, his last painting. The archaeology rooms occupy the vaulted cellars of the former abbey.

The museum sits in a former cloister building with multiple halls and is accessible on foot from the town center. Expect to navigate older building structures with stairs and uneven floors, which affects accessibility throughout the space.

The Treasure of Pouan is not a coin hoard but the grave goods of a 5th-century princely burial, found on 22 August 1842 at Pouan-les-Vallées by labourer Baptiste Buttat. The set includes a gold torque of 84 g with three rows of ocelli, a 141 g open bracelet, and a sword whose olive-shaped pommel holds four garnets. Napoleon III bought it in 1858 and gave it to the museum on 11 March 1860.
