Musée de l'Hospice Comtesse

I liked the architecture of the building itself. This place contains art that is not the normal ones that you usually see in museums around Paris with some more modern take on art there was a room with a projection that felt kind of a new idea and something interesting to see the location of the museum is very nice and it was included in my city pass.

We had a great time at this museum leaning about the French history during the 16th-18th centuries. The staff were very nice to us, even though the museum seemed small, it was definitely worth it and the price of €22 for 4 people. The history is super fun to read and see, especially their temporary exhibit that represents different mixes of feeling about the world and about the history back in the centuries. Their permanent exhibits that are in the main building are worth to see, with more interesting paintings and architecture. The dog at the end was pretty sick too, haha. Overall, it was definitely worth the visit in Lille for something to do!

We really liked this museum and how welcoming it was. Buying tickets was easy, and so very reasonably priced!! The main section was very interesting to look through, with plenty of information boards in each space. The guides were also helpful and friendly and explained what Lille 3000 was, so we'd better understand some of the exhibition. Some of the displays had very helpful digital info points that gave more information about items in the room, perfect for answering questions! Unfortunately the chapel was closed when we visited, but we enjoyed looking at the courtyard space with it's interesting Lille 3000 exhibition in!

A must visit if you're in Lille. Tickets are very cheap and the museum itself is great! Easily my favourite musuem of the ones we visited during our trip. Some really interesting history and beautiful rooms/ architecture.

With a 7 euro entrance, same as the Palais des Beaux Arts, this is a poor choice where we spent only around 30 mins with nothing much to see! A waste of money & time. Avoid at best, way over rated!

Day trip to Lillie, was European day, so all museums were free. Art exhibition, weird but good, then went through to explore the old hospital, very interesting. Would recommend

Initially establish and built in 1236 under the Countess of Flanders, it was a hospice for centuries and was run by the Augustinian Sisters for 500 years. In more recent times, soldiers from the French Revolution were treated here. Now a museum of the history and decorative arts of Lille housing furniture, Flemish paintings, carved wood, ceramics, goldwork and tapestries. In town center and definitely worth a visit.

The museum about the nuns is extremely short and the lady welcoming you don't speak English so it was very difficult to ask questions or navigate. We expected to see some furnished rooms from an actual hospital but there were only not related paintings. The current temporary exhibition is not fitting at all, ruins the atmosphere and you are obligated to pay for it even if you don't care about it.

If you are after a very alternative and different museum, this may be one option - simply put, this sued to be a hospital but the previous building and structure has been transformed to now house an art gallery or museum. The different angle alone may be worth the visit and a quick snap of the camera. In terms of what is on display however, this was less impressive (when compared against other museums in and around Lille). Relatively easy to locate on the map and not in the most inconvenient of places, even if this do not fancy this after a quick peek, there is very little to lose.
