The Musee des Beaux-Arts at Rouen is one of the best provincial museums in France, so if you are in Rouen on a rainy day like I was (or even if it isn't raining!), I highly recommend setting aside a couple of hours for a visit. The Cathedral Notre-Dame in Rouen was a recurring subject for Monet when he lived in nearby Giverny, and this excellent museum displays one of these canvases, along with works by Gericault, Boudin, Sisley, Renoir, Caillebot, Delecroix and many others. The paintings collection is especially strong, but there are also many fine sculptures and objets d'art. The whole museum has a very modern and professional air. And it's free! Unbelievable for a museum of this quality.

I never expected to find such fine maijolica in Rouen - but they had a thriving industry and the museum has some lovely examples. The building itself is very fine and worth visiting in its own right.
