Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy

Visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy was an unforgettable experience. The incredible collection, especially the works of the Impressionists, is simply mesmerizing! The paintings captivate with their play of light, colors, and emotions, transporting you right into the heart of the era. It’s amazing how this museum preserves artworks that tell an entire story. This place inspires you and leaves you wanting to return again and again.

While the artworks themselves are exceptional and the architectural interior is impressive (plus there are many comfortable seats!), I found the exhibition flow a bit confusing. The sequence felt somewhat disjointed without a clearly suggested route to follow.

There is a great special exhibit on the history of graffiti. There are also works by Yayoi Kusama which are also amazing. There are paintings by Perugin, Rubens, Caravaggio, Emile Friant and many others. Simply an outstanding museum located right on the Place Stanislas. Not to be missed.

Really impressive museum with a lot of amazing pieces and an incredible vase collection. Was a lot of fun to visit. Prices were (as of July 2023) Free for students or till age 26. From 27 it costs 10 euros a person.

Variety is the spice of life and so is this museum. For every style of art there is a painting or object in this museum. The art ranges from the European middle ages through to the modern era, with an Asian art section and a Jewish art section. What I found exciting is the layout of the floors. It isn't just square rooms with art on the walls... It has nooks and crannies that entice you to explore the whole building. This gives the visitor some unexpected suprises in discovering new, unexpected spaces and art. In the basement is an ancient wall that was found through archaeological digs, with a huge Daum, art nouveau glass and art deco glass vases up through until modern times. It was a pleasure for the eyes as the collection is colorful and quite extensive. Throughout the building there are some English translations about, art but it is limited. I would suggest using a Google Lens with translation feature if you aren't fluent in reading French. There is also a museum app that is used for an audiotour, but i didn't use it. Highly recommended if visiting Nancy.

Fantastic! This museum sports a huge Collection and there are many rooms to visit. The art on display is stunning.

Interesting museum with lots of exhibits. It's bigger than it looks. We liked the Infinity Mirror room. The museum entry was free due to the heat wave conditions but it is good value at €10.

An eclectic museum with paintings from grandmasters as well as French and other artists. Also decorative glasswork from Daum. And some contemporary exhibitions. Well worth visiting.
