The Musee des Beaux Arts is a well-organized and nicely laid-out museum in a gorgeous building. Not to be missed is the bedroom that Hector Guimard designed for himself.

7 euros including informative audio device. Personally loved the Impressionists but was surprised at the impact of the Sculpture section. More

An ace museum, along with the Fabric Museum. Very strong collection of 18-19th century painting. A useful audio guide, with several langauges to choose from, is included in the ticket price. Their restaurant has quite a serious menu. And all the staff are charming, only too willing to show you something interesting that you might have missed. More
