Musée des Ursulines, Art museum in Mâcon, France
The Musée des Ursulines occupies a former convent building with multiple exhibition spaces spread across several floors, displaying both historical artifacts and contemporary art collections.
The structure, built between 1675 and 1680, transformed from an educational institution for young women to a prison during the French Revolution, then a military barracks until 1929.
The museum presents regional archaeological findings from Solutré, extensive art collections including works by Titian and Jean-Baptiste Greuze, and dedicated spaces for temporary exhibitions.
The museum received accessibility certification through the Tourisme et Handicap label and maintains regular exhibition rotations with approximately 13,000 annual visitors as of 2019.
A section of the second floor contains manuscripts, paintings, and reconstructed furniture from the residence of French poet Alphonse de Lamartine.
