Musee des Beaux-Arts de Reims

The fine-arts museum of Reims, home to Cranach portraits, a wall of Corots and one of the four versions of David's Death of Marat.

Sobre este lugar

The Musee des Beaux-Arts de Reims holds one of the richest art collections in eastern France, gathered since the Revolution and spanning five centuries of painting. Among its treasures are thirteen portraits by the German Renaissance masters Lucas Cranach the Elder and the Younger, a remarkable series of twenty seven works by the landscape painter Camille Corot, a great sweep of the Barbizon school, and canvases by Monet, Gauguin and Pissarro. Its most famous picture is one of only four versions of The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David. The museum is undergoing a major transformation into a new home near the cathedral, so its doors may be closed as it prepares to reopen, but it makes a fitting final note for a walk through a city that has always prized beauty and endurance.
