Musée Bernard d'Agesci, Municipal museum in Niort, France.

The Musée Bernard-d'Agesci occupies the former Jean-Macé girls' school, a late 19th-century building by municipal architect Georges Lasseron opened in 1897, with a stone facade and decorative faience and terracotta. Its nearly 5,000 m² hold three collections: fine and decorative arts, the former natural history museum, and an education conservatory. The glass hall displays a bronze Apollo Belvedere copy attributed to Hubert Le Sueur.

The Jean-Macé girls' school, designed by municipal architect Georges Lasseron, opened in 1897 and was the city's first public building to use decorative faience and terracotta on its stone facade. It closed as a school in 1993; two years later the municipality decided to gather collections shown at several sites, and the fine arts and natural history museums shut in 1996. After restoration the multidisciplinary museum opened in June 2006, named after Niort painter and sculptor Bernard d'Agesci (1757–1828).

The museum displays works from different cultures and periods, including Flemish and Dutch paintings alongside Islamic decorative objects. Visitors encounter how artistic traditions from Western Europe and the Orient are presented together in one space.

The museum occupies three floors of the former Jean-Macé girls' school, with the fine arts section on the first and second floors and the education collection filling a whole wing of the first floor. The building is wheelchair accessible. Allow time for the roughly 5,000 m² of displays.

In the glazed hall opening the visit stands a bronze copy of the Belvedere Apollo attributed to Hubert Le Sueur, the only bronze given to the city by the State in the 19th century that escaped the 1942 requisition of non-ferrous metals and was not sent to the foundry. Two large plasters by Jean-Baptiste Baujault, Au gui l'an neuf! and L'Éducation de Vercingétorix, are shown nearby.
