Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle d'Alençon, Regional art and lace museum in Alençon, France.

The Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle is a museum in Alençon that combines fine art from multiple centuries with handcrafted lace-making. The collections include paintings, sculptures, and detailed demonstrations of local craft techniques.

In 1857 Alençon officially founded an establishment to spread taste for the arts and sciences, building on a natural history cabinet and works gathered after the French Revolution. Under senator Léon de La Sicotière the collections grew through donations, and Alençon lace entered the museum at the end of the 19th century. The museum has occupied part of the restored former Jesuit college since 1981.

The museum celebrates the lace-making tradition that has defined the city's craft and identity for centuries. The displayed works show how generations of artisans have kept this intricate technique alive and passed it forward.

Visitors should plan time to explore both the art collection and the lace exhibition, as both areas deserve equal attention. It is helpful to check opening times in advance and wear comfortable shoes to walk through all the rooms.

In 2018 the Polish street artist NeSpoon painted a lace mural on the museum facade, translating Point d'Alençon motifs into a large outdoor work. The building itself is part of the former Jesuit college, restored in 1981 under mayor Pierre Mauger. The lace craft was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on 16 November 2010.
