The quality and diversity of this collection make it one of the most important in France. Pictures, sculpture and objects recount the history of European art from the 16C to the 20C. Note the series of 18C portraits of Mme de Pompadour by François-Hubert Drouais and Chardin’s fine Self-portrait with spectacles. The modern art collection includes works by Rodin, Maillol, Bourdelle, Malfray and Gaudier-Brzeska.
