The Palace of St. Peter, in which the museum is situated, is a former convent. Its collection covers several periods, styles and techniques spread over 70 rooms. One of the most important museums in Europe, offering an impressive section dedicated to Egypt and its pharaohs, and also antique art. Italian painting is equally well represented with artists such as Pérugin and Véronèse. The 19th and 20th French centuries are largely represented by canvasses of Renoir, Delacroix, Degas, Gauguin… The room of Guimard, with its Art Nouveau from Paris, is particularly worth a visit. After a visit to such a museum of such a size, the cafe-restaurant offers a lovely view of La place des Terreaux.

Open every day Tuesday from 10am to 6pm. Friday from 10.30am to 6pm.
