Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie
1 place de la Révolution 25000 Besançon

- Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
The Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie de Besançon is part of the French and international cultural landscape: the oldest public collection in France, born in 1694, can indeed be proud of the richness of its collections. In addition to the international renown of its collection of European graphic art (more than 6,000 drawings), it also has an important archaeological heritage (Egyptian, Mediterranean collections, regional background), numerous sculptures, ceramics, goldsmith’s pieces and an exceptional collection of paintings representative of the main trends in the history of Western art from the late fifteenth to the twentieth century.
These collections take place in a unique setting, a former grain hall of the nineteenth century revisited by a student of Le Corbusier in the seventies, with its ramp in raw concrete. After four years of closure for works, the museum reopens its doors in November 2018 with a reinvented itinerary and an architectural renovation signed Adelfo Scarane
