Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers
A museum in the 15th-century Barrault mansion, with works by French masters such as Chardin, Fragonard and Ingres.
The Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers occupies the late Gothic Barrault mansion. After extensive modernization, the ground floor tells the story of Anjou's history from prehistory to today, while the upper floors hold the art collection, which excels in 17th- to 19th-century French painting, including works by Chardin, Fragonard, Watteau and Ingres, as well as Italian Primitives and Dutch paintings. Closed on Mondays. A combined ticket is available with the nearby David d'Angers Gallery and the Jean-Lurçat Museum.
