History
History
Established in 1801 by the painter Pierre Lacour, it is one of the largest art galleries in France outside Paris. The museum holds several paintings that were looted by the French during the French Revolution (the saisies révolutionnaires) such as the Martyrdom of Saint Georges by Peter Paul Rubens. First hosted in a library and then in a room of the town hall, the collection was moved into the current building after its construction from 1875 to 1881. The Galerie des Beaux-Arts was built later, from 1936 to 1939.
