Musée des Beaux-Arts de Morlaix

Musée des Beaux-Arts de Morlaix, Fine arts museum in Couvent des Jacobins, Morlaix, France

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Morlaix, also called the Musée des Jacobins, occupies a 13th-century former Dominican convent. Its pale rendered facade has a dark grey tiled roof, a round-arched stone doorway closed by a black iron gate, and the word "MVSEE" mounted above the arch. The collection runs from Old Master paintings to 19th-century works.

The museum was founded in 1889 and received major art donations, including 70 works by painter Louis-Marie Baader in 1920. These acquisitions shaped the foundation of the collection visitors see today.

The collection features works by Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet, and nineteen paintings by Australian artist John Peter Russell acquired in 1927. These pieces reflect how different generations of painters approached their craft.

The museum closed on 20 May 2019 for major works intended to triple its exhibition space, with completion planned for 2023. The entrance is the stone round-arched doorway with a black metal gate, marked "MVSEE" above the arch. The museum also manages the Maison à Pondalez in the Grande Rue, listed as a Monument historique.

The museum extends to a second location, the Maison à Pondalez, a 16th-century timber-framed house from Morlaix's golden age. This building reveals how wealthy merchants lived during that prosperous period.
