Agen’s fine arts museum, housed in four of the town’s Renaissance hotels, will allow you to discover a rich collection or art work and participate in a comprehensive educational activity program. The buildings themselves, l'hôtel d'Estrades, l'hôtel de Vaurs, l'hôtel Vergès and l'hôtel Monluc offer an inspiring journey through Agen’s monumental history. The museum’s collection, including five of Goya’s paintings, make it one of the most impressive of municipal art collections.
The collection was first assembled at the end of the 19th century by Agen’s erudites and scholars. It opened in 1876 and today counts over 2000 historic and artistic works. It was significantly enriched at the beginning of the century by the Chaudodry bequest and the donation of the collection belonging to the dukes of Aiguillon. Since, it has continued to benefit from state deposits and acquisitions, giving the musée des Beaux Arts d’Agen the high reputation it enjoys today.
