This museum, labeled Museum of France, reveals an amazing contemporary architecture, signed Vincent Brossy
Taking on the spirit of a collector's cabinet, this museum particularly highlights two major works by Georges de La Tour: Profile of a Woman, and Saint John the Baptist in the Desert. Born in Vic-sur-Seille, Georges de La Tour was the greatest painter of Lorraine in the 17th century. Built on a singular site, indeed it is an old house of the eighteenth century, the museum that serves as a showcase is a property of the Departmental Council of Moselle. Labelled as a Museum of France, it reveals an astonishing contemporary architecture, signed Vincent Brossy. Its collections were enriched in 1998 by the exceptional donation of the brothers Jacques and Guy Thuilliers, a total of 82 paintings! The three floors of the museum cover the art of European painting from the 17th to the early 20th century (Jacques Stella, Bertholet Flémal, Charles Le Brun, Sebastiano Ricci, Jans Fran van Bloemen, Joseph Bidault, Camille Corot...).

Côté oeuvres, il n'y a pas que des peintures de Georges de La Tour et cela est très intéressant. Enfin, la visite se termine par un grand salon chaleureux dans lequel petits et grands peuvent s'installer et lire ce qui leur plaira : BD, ouvrages sur l'art... Je recommande !
l’accueil de la Dame présente fut glacial . le musée était fermé en bas. Au lieu de nous. Le dire. Dès le début on s’est fait gronder méchamment et donc Nous sommes repartis tres vite ...À éviter !!!
