Musée des beaux-arts de Marseille

The Musée des beaux-arts de Marseille occupies the left wing of the Palais Longchamp, a historic building constructed by Henri-Jacques Espérandieu between 1862 and 1869 to commemorate the arrival of water from the Marseille canal. Inside, it displays a collection of painting, sculpture and drawing from the 16th to the 19th centuries, with works from the French, Italian, Spanish and Northern European schools. Highlights include paintings by Rubens, Canaletto, Guercino and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, a notable collection of drawings by Pierre Paul Puget, and sculptures such as Auguste Rodin's La Méditation. The museum's staircase is decorated with two paintings by Puvis de Chavannes: Marseille, gateway to the East and Marseilles, a Greek colony. Admission to the permanent collections is free for everyone, and the museum offers family tours and guided tours in French Sign Language (LSF).
