The Musée d'Art de Nantes welcomes all forms of creation, from ancient art to contemporary art and photography.
Located in the heart of the city, between the cathedral and the Jardin des Plantes, the Musée d'arts de Nantes is a major landmark in the French museum landscape. One of the few French museums to have enriched its collections with works by living artists since it was founded in 1801, the museum's extensive collection is housed in the sumptuous spaces of the 19th-century Palais and the recently enlarged Contemporary Cube. Thanks to this ongoing curiosity about the art of its time, the collection offers a broad panorama of creation, from ancient art to contemporary art, via the 19th century and modern art. Over 900 paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos and installations are on display. Take a look at Ingres, Courbet, La Tour, Monet, Kandinsky, Delaunay, Kapoor or Soulages! Last but not least, there's a bookshop-boutique and the Café du Musée run by chef Eric Guérin: a bistronomic address for lunch, coffee or a snack in this prestigious setting.

Paquebots 1913-1942. A transatlantic aesthetic
Objects of total art and jewels of technical power, ocean liners shook up the aesthetic imagination of the interwar period. Their imposing, streamlined silhouettes and complex machinery aroused the admiration of avant-garde artists, who depicted them to the point of obsession. The transatlantic crossing blurred space-time relationships, becoming the place of all possibilities, an existential and cosmopolitan experience often unheard of for artists.
