Description

Housed in the former corn exchange, the Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology was extended in the late 1960s by Louis Miquel, a pupil of Le Corbusier. It houses a fine collection of Egyptian and Gallo-Roman antiquities, and statues and artefacts from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. But the real highlight is the eclectic collection of paintings, by some of the greats: Drunkenness of Noah by Bellini, Lamentation over the Dead Christ by Bronzino and Scenes of Cannibalism by Goya.
