Collections of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts in Perpignan
Best art gallery in Perpignan. It has a standing exhibition featuring the work of locally born portrait painter after whom the museum is named. Check out his self portraits as he ages. There are some works by Dali which I wasn't that keen on, and a superb special expedition of the work of Joan Miro. I also enjoyed an exhibition of multiple exposure photographs of artists working in their studios.
Very well-structured museum by periods. Great selection of artwork in an impressive building that used to be an old hotel. The museum also conveys much of the town history. The Dalí paintings as well as the Mirò special exhibition were ultimately impressive!
I used the time to do a quick museum run while my parents were enjoying a coffee in the city. At 10 EUR it felt on the expensive side for a mid-sized French town, but the collection justified it. Baroque to modern, well organized, and more to see than I expected, including some Picasso pieces. A pleasant surprise for a solo hour well spent.
Historic art in the heart of Perpignan. The permanent collection is full of contrasts with sections of medieval artwork, art nouveau and modern paintings. The temporary “Picasso & Maillol” exhibition was a real treat
A solid collection featuring, to me, some hidden-gem artists and cool hidden-gem works by Picasso (who is not even my favourite). The museum itself is nice, well organized and calm. Wholeheartedly recommend!
