Musee departemental Matisse

Reviewed By U3357ALtonys

An interesting selection of works of art from several artists from the same period as Matisse. Well organised for managing the safety rules around the coronavirus.

Musee des Beaux-Arts Valenciennes

Reviewed By Beto79 - Lille, France

There is an excellent exhibition called "The history of the world in 100 objects from the British Museum" that will last until July. I was very impressed by this exhibition. The quality and importance of some of the objects is quite remarkable. Commentary is presented in French and English and it is an activity that you can do in one hour and half. The rest of the museum is Ok. It's strength is the Flemish painters (Rubens) and a large selection of sculptures. The neoclassical building is in a nice area of the city. On Saturdays there is a nice open air market behind the museum. Definitively, Valenciennes is a nice day trip from Lille.

musee le Louvre lens

Reviewed By KWD_11 - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

This museum is well worth a visit. Art works range from Ancient Egypt and Persia to European art - including paintings by Botticelli, Pisanello and Raphael. The works on display are of outstanding quality, and would not look out of place in the Louvre at Paris. They are displayed freestanding – rather than attached to the walls – in roughly chronological sequence. Admission to the main exhibition is free, though there is a charge if you want to see any temporary exhibitions. There is a café which is expensive, but there is a room for eating your own picnic if you want to save a few euros. The large car park is free, but is a good five minutes walk from the museum.

Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille

Prestigious art museum features works of Goya, Donatello and Veronese along with German paintings and sculptures from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Reviewed By Stevewfoster - Reading, United Kingdom

The collection isn't huge but it's varied and really good. The relief maps of the old towns in the lower ground, the sculptures around the atrium and the paintings on the first floor provided a couple of interesting and enjoyable hours. The helpful guy on the ticket desk said that if we had Eurostar tickets we would get a 2 for 1 price. We did, so the cost of admission was 4 euros for both of us.

These days , and I understand the reasons...there are few moats surrounding ancient building that actually hold water in them! This one did not disappoint. There was an array of exhibitions on offer although I am sad the locality exhibition had been moved for the Egyptian exhibition. A huge variety of exhibitions to savour., I loved the underground area which was available to explore.

Musee des Beaux-Arts de Calais

Standing opposite the Parc Richelieu, the Calais Museum of Fine Arts houses a vast collection of paintings, sculptures and photographs dating from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. On the ground floor, the Rodin, from Paris to Calais room is dedicated to the works of the famous sculptor and his studies for the Monument to the Burghers of Calais. The Calais d’ici et d’ailleurs (Calais, here and elsewhere) circuit presents 150 works of the collection. Here, visitors will find major sculptors including Louis-Antoine Barye, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Antoine Bourdelle, Germaine Richier... together with paintings, watercolours and drawings by Calais artists. On the first floor, through an evocation of the tales of the English writer Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the visitor discovers the contemporary works of Philippe Ramette, Barry Flanagan, Patrick Tosani and Richard Wentworth, associated or contrasted with older paintings and sculptures.
