The Museum of Fine Arts is a place that you want to visit and revisit.
Far from the dusty image of the museums of yesteryear, this museum is an integral part of the city as a true cultural economic asset, a flagship of the city and the region.

The city of Draguignan has undertaken the complete renovation of its Museum of Fine Arts. Entrusted to the architectural agency Brochet-Lajus-Pueyo, this project aims to make this museum a heritage and tourist showcase for the city and the region.
A MUSEUM MODELED AS A CABINET
The idea and term of curiosity occupy a central place in the new museum. They refer to the appetite of both the scholar and the visitor for knowledge and discovery.
AN EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTION
The collection of the Museum of Fine Arts combines paintings, sculptures and art objects from the 17th to the 20th century, archaeological objects and naturalized specimens. The new tour highlights this diversity, while proposing visit scenarios to demonstrate its coherence.
PRESTIGIOUS WORKS TO DISCOVER
The ceremonial armour of François de Montmorency dating from the mid-16th century, a true masterpiece and centrepiece of the museum.
One of the rare examples of a panoramic wallpaper with Chinese decoration from the early 19th century; Two pairs of 18th century Asian vases decorated with their wooden and gilded metal mounts, a legacy of revolutionary seizures.
A gallery dedicated to local history and landscapes (portraits of 19th century prefects, archaeology of Saint-Hermentaire, Gorges du Verdon, etc.).
An elegant and little-known Allegory of Charity by Simon Vouet.
Dream by the fireside, a very fine marble by Camille Claudel.
The Child with the Soap Bubble attributed to Rembrandt.
The reconstruction of the mausoleum of Joseph Alphonse-Omer de Valbelle, Count of Tourves, whose museum has a marble portrait carved by one of the greatest French sculptors of the 18th century, Jean Antoine Houdon.
A painting by David II Teniers, Country Doctor Performing Bloodletting from 1668.
A painting by Auguste Renoir, Child with Biscuit from the late 19th century.
