    The Palais des Beaux Arts is France's second museum after the Louvre.

    It is renowned for its fabulous art collection, that was originally bought to Lille under order from Napoleon.

    Unfortunately we did not have the time to visit the museum, but will ensure we do if we get the chance to go back to Lille one day.

    A must for art lovers!

    The museum of Fine Arts is one of the richest musea of the region and the second most important of France (after the Louvre).
    It is housed in a beautiful 19th century building that overlooks the Place de la République.

    In this museum you will discover paintings from European painters (Rubens, Picasso), as well as sculptures and ceramics.

    Lille's main art gallery, the Beaux Arts Museum, is said to be second only to the Louvre in Paris.
    The interior of the building is light and spacious and - unlike the Louvre - uncrowded so you can move easily through the galleries which show European art from the 15th to the 20th century, including important works by Reubens, Van Dyck, Goya, Delacroix, Pradier and Rodin.

    Afterwards relax in the delightful cafe overlooking the unusual water feature in the courtyard and the mirrored extermal walls of the extension!

    We did not have time during our few days in Lille to visit the Museum of Modern which has works by Picasso, Braque, Laurens, Modigliani, Miro and Derain.
    One of many good reasons to make a return visit!

    The building was built in the end of XIX century and some sources say it is the most important museum in arts in France after Louvre. I enjoyed the view you can see on the picture but some later I found out that it is worth visiting inner yard. There is a glass wall that reflects the museum building. Don't miss it! (I hop to see it one day too).

    This was a museum I had no idea what to expect prior to visiting, yet I had heard alot of good things said about it. After leaving I was totally overwhelmed by this museum! It houses some incredible works of art, and is quite large. I chose to do an English language tour.
    This is the second-ranked French museum after the Louvre. A list of some of the artists whose works are exhibited here include: Rubens, Goya,Van Dyck, Goya. The famous French art here includes David, Delacroix, Courbet, Raphael. I enjoy sculptured work very much. There is plenty of fabulous works here of which Rodin is just one of the famous sculpturers. The museum is open every day except Tuesday. The museum is the first thing you must see in Lille!

    This museum was beautiful in that it was housed in a great palace. The architecture was really interesting. While I was there, the museum had a Berthe Morisot exhibit, displaying the works of one of only two women to exhibit with the Impressionists. The museum also has exhibits including Rubens, Goya, and Delacroix.

    The Fine Arts Museum was built between 1889 and 1892 and is one of the finest art galleries in Europe. It houses an important collection of paintings from Rubens to Picasso and also has a fine collection of Spanish paintings. I especially liked the sculpture section and the display of old relief maps of regional fortified towns. In front of the museum, there's a nice fountain with a small park. The inner courtyard is very spectacular. A glazen 'wall' reflects beautifully the old facade of the building.

    Many good museums around the area with this place coming next after the Lourve. Unfortunately not many staffs spoke English to compensate with my limited French.
