Fine Arts Museum of Nantes. The Fine Arts Museum of Nantes, along with 14 other provincial museums, was created, by consular decree on 14 Fructidor in year IX. Today the museum is one of the largest museums in the region.
The facades, roof and stairs in the building that houses the art collections have been registered as historical monuments since 29 October 1975. On 18 December 2011 the museum closed its doors for what was initially expected to be two years at most, to carry out extension expansion work.
Due to problems associate with the discovery of ground water in the foundations, which required almost four years of additional work, the reopening of the entire building was postponed until 23 June 2013. Founded under the Consulate, the Fine Arts Museum of Nantes receives work purchased by state and the central museum deposits.
It takes from the 19th century where it was an important place in the French public collections through the purchase by the city of Nantes in the collection of the brothers Pierre and Francois Cacault. The fund, with major works, were later supplemented by several other direct or law given gifts, and a purchasing policy supported by the friends of the museum.
Compounding this today adds to this rich set of deposits of work of the Regional Contemporary Art Funds of the Loire and the Centre Pompidou. The museum offers an overview of all the main French and European art movements, w
