Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille

Museums & Art Centres
Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, opened in 1809, was one of the regional museums created by Napoleon in order to house the confiscated church and other collection fallen into the hands of the state. 

It is one of the largest museums in France with stunning collections from the antiques to modern art, with a great number of great masters (Rembrandt, Goya, David, Toulouse-Lautrec...)

The present building was constructed between 1885-1892, in Belle-Epoque style by the architects Edouard Bérard (1843–1912) and Fernand Etienne-Charles Delmas (1852–1933).  A bit more than a century later it was renovated by the architects Jean-Marc Ibos and Myrto Vitart.
