Fesch Museum

The Palais Fesch-museum of Fine Arts, located in Ajaccio, is one of the most important museums in France for Italian painting, housing the collection assembled by Cardinal Joseph Fesch, uncle of Napoleon I.

A museum that is mainly dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte but also has other works that are lovely. The views are beautiful here

Nice artwork. Some of the artwork had too much direct sunlight to enjoy. Some of the darker pieces could have been best shown in a darker room as well. With relation to the artwork, I would have half the price of the entry ticket.

The chapel was included, but overrated; the actual museum was fantastic though! Recommendation for improvement is to either add a translation to the text (or a QR code). What I loved about the museum was the depth of artwork it presented; it didn't have an overwhelming religious focus. Instead it sectioned each floor with a different focus: Corsica art in the basement, Napoleon Bonaparte and Bonaparte family on the ground floor, religious focus at the first floor that was mostly Christian themed, but did have some pagan themes, and everyday life artwork on the second floor.

Fine arts of Corsica, history of napoleon and chapel of the Bonaparte family crypt! Must see!

If you are an art lover you are going to be engaged but not bowled over. Not the highlight one hopes for but there are some works from famous names and a lot of division two. Centre of old Ajaccio so you are going to visit but don't pin your holiday on it. Like so often en France, the beat is in Paris. The Bonaparte fetish is also in full swing which, despite the fact the locals don't like the guy, they milk him for all his ermine clad imperial worth.

Impressive art collection well displayed.

Most of the works belong to Italian artists, not comparable to the Louvre or orsay. high ticket prices and no discount for student.
