Musee d'Art Roger Quilliot
About This Museum
You'd never guess that this serene art museum, now housing everything from medieval altarpieces to 20th-century canvases, was once a bustling Ursuline convent. It's a place where the building itself is as much a part of the collection as the art it contains. Wandering its rooms feels like a journey through time, with each turn revealing a new artistic era. The atmosphere is uniquely peaceful, a quiet refuge from the city just outside its walls.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning medieval polychrome sculptures and the intricate faïence pottery. The journey continues through rooms filled with Romantic landscapes and ends with bold, modern works that provide a striking contrast to the ancient stone surroundings.
