We got in for free as it turns out that the permanent exhibitions are free for everyone on the first sunday of each month. Bargain!Spent an hour or so wandering the halls (also to get out of the cold). But a good selection of art in there. Worth a look!
For a wet February morning in Lille, this was the ideal place to go. Fascinating collections of art, porcelain and sculpture covering a host of different eras, from 15th century religious paintings to works by Monet, Renoir and Picasso, as well as a number of Rodin sculptures. I was particularly impressed with the number of art students who were allowed to sit on the floor of the galleries and study the techniques of the masters.
fascinated by lots of walks. Lille by boat, in the park. The old town with cobbled pavements, art quarter, lots of welcoming restaurants with bistros. Disliked too many beggars everywhere. It spoiled the charm and beauty of this attractive city.
This is a very worthwhile provincial museum to visit, with substantial collections of fine arts and other attractions. However some rooms are closed which is annoying and the museum maps are out-of-date.
This beautiful building houses much interesting art. Although much from Middle Ages and onwards, they also have some interesting contemporary art. My favourite was van Gog's cows which he based on an older painting from another painter, which painting they cleverly hung next to it.
A nice museum with good exhibitions. Especially the audiotour is nice. I loved the details they give you on the paintings. Lovely works of Rubens, Brueghel, etc....
Great museum, interesting collection, beautiful building, loved the miniatures of the 10 cities in the cellar.
We did a guide visit at the exhibition about egypt. It was very interesting! The building is very nice and they have a nice art collection. Definitely reccomended!
The museum is so beautiful and the location is a must to take a picture place. The square where the museum is also beautiful and a point of meeting the young student people who live in Lille. Around you can find restaurants supermarkets and pharmacies etc.
This is probably the most well-known tourist attraction in Lille. It is said to be the second or third biggest fine art museum in France. However, the museum is not so big, the collection is not abundant nor wide-range, and the streamline of the flow is a bit weird. Maybe they're undergoing some reconstruction of the layout or what I don't know, but it's a bid disturbing. Still, I enjoyed the museum a lot.
