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.

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.

Really impressive museum with great collection of paintings from different artists and it was well organized from the other hand really great friendly staff

A very descent collection for a local art museum. There are definitely some problems with the lightning as sometimes I needed time to find a good spot to see all the details without reflects. Anyway, if you want a quiet hour for inspiration without being overwhelmed, that’s the place to be in Nancy. Also there is a painting by Lucian Freud!

Free entrance for students and those under the age of 26. The whole place takes at least 1 whole day to see (it can take a little over a day). Really a worthwhile visit.

Loved the museum. It got better the further in we went, in my opinion. The beginning hosts many old, religion inspired, pieces which I always find impressive but overwhelmingly nonsensical and rather boring. More modern art can be found on the lower floors and in the basement area. Entry is free under 27 years old and costs 10€ for anyone older.

We were fortunate enough to visit on a Sunday where the entrance was free. We really enjoyed looking at the art, from the more modern to medieval style. The room with all the mirrors and lighter was mesmerizing!
