Musée Municipal Albert Marzelles
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Marmande, the Musée Municipal Albert Marzelles feels like a local secret. It's named for a beloved former mayor and art collector, which gives the place a wonderfully personal feel from the moment you step inside. You won't find sprawling, overwhelming galleries here; instead, it's an intimate space where regional history and fine art sit comfortably side-by-side. The collection is thoughtfully curated, making it a perfect stop for an unhurried afternoon of discovery.
Collection Highlights
Look for the fascinating Gallo-Roman artifacts dug up from the area and a small but exquisite selection of paintings from the 17th to 19th centuries. The real charm often lies in its temporary exhibitions, which frequently spotlight talented artists from southwestern France.
Visitor Information
It's located at 15 Rue Abel Boyé – easy to miss if you're not looking for it, but that's part of its appeal. Since it's a municipal museum, checking their opening hours online before you go is a good idea as they can be limited.
