PALAIS DES BEAUX ARTS - FINE ARTS MUSEUM by mel_bee
This beautiful building from the 19th century is in Place de la Republique. It has many paintings, sculptures and ceramics and is seen as France's second most important museum. At the moment there is a special Rubens exhibition for the year of culture.
Open everyday except Tuesdays (Monday in the afternoon only).
