Musee d'Art Roger Quilliot

One of the remarkable art institutions in Clermont -Ferrand. It looks like a modern building but contents really historic artefacts back to medieval times etc. I was really impressed by the museum, it’s worth visiting it with family and friends.

A beautifully laid-out museum with two excellent temporary exhibits. No explanations in English, though, if that's a problem. I have to say that the painting of the fair at Impruneta is an absolute must.

The Musée d'Art Roger-Quilliot in Clermont-Ferrand is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. Situated in a beautifully restored 18th-century convent, the museum itself is an architectural gem, seamlessly blending historical and modern elements. Its collection spans several centuries, showcasing works from the Middle Ages to contemporary art, with a particular focus on regional artists and the Auvergne's rich artistic heritage. The museum is well-organized, making it easy to navigate through its various sections, and the staff is welcoming. The rotating exhibitions add an element of surprise, ensuring that even repeat visits offer something new. Additionally, the museum's location in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand makes it easily accessible, and it is undoubtedly one of the cultural highlights of the city. For families, don’t forget to stop by the area on the ground floor where kids can draw their flag on paper, with the word "play" written in their own language. It’s a fun, interactive way for children to engage with the museum and express their creativity. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the Musée d'Art Roger-Quilliot offers a deep dive into the artistic soul of the region, making it one of the best museums in Clermont-Ferrand .

I have never met such grumpy staff at the reception desk of a museum. It's better to give a welcome smile than a grudging scowl. You'd think staff would be pleased to have some paying visitors... Very annoying also that the cloakroom and bag lockers are closed so we have to carry them around the museum. Poor experience.

A small museum, but it has many valuable art pieces. The painting styles are various from classical to modern art. You will forget everything when staying in front of these paintings.

Five euro for a two hour museum. Not a bad price. Many pieces displaying people relevant to the region. Such as Desaix and Vercingetorix.

A lovely fine art museum to visit. It has an interesting modern layout, an atrium the height of the building like the courtyard between three buildings around a square. The collection runs from medieval to C20th. My favourite was the C20th collection in the basement, a very generous bequest. Rather too much Vercengétorex in the C19th for my taste, but he's the local hero!

Nice museum. It has a lot of romantic-ish art with some roman vestiges of different objects of Clermont-Ferrand that date back to hundreds and hundreds of years. It's quite interesting. There was also a very interesting temporary expo of the dutch filmmaker "Rosto" that I specially liked. I'll be in the look out for future expositions in the museum.
