Interesting art museum with some pretty Monet pieces. Wasn't exactly sure what to expect but it was a good stop in this port town that doesn't offer much in regard to tourism.

Worth to visit. Impressive collection of Boudin, few works of Claude Monet too.

Very interesting museum with friendly staff. Some lesser known impressionist works as well as some well known ones such as Renoir and Pissaro. Also some works that were curiously not at all modern.The restaurant is also very good value for an excellent three course lunch. We went on a Friday which seemed to serve a reduced price menu. Lovely sea views.

Extremely unassuming from the outside; the building looks quite austere and unwelcoming. But, as they say, never judge a book by its cover. Inside, this modern art facility is fabulous, with an extremely varied mix of art representing several genres and eras across generations (and, indeed, centuries). From Manet to, indeed, Monet, French artists are expectedly well represented here, but there are plenty of other pieces on display from a myriad of artists to appreciate too. If a particular style isn't to your taking, you can be guarantee that around the next corner that there will feature something completely in contrast to what you just observed; if you cannot find anything to appreciate in the gallery, then perhaps art isn't for you! It's an extremely polished but relaxing atmosphere; the perfect location to stroke your chin and pretend to understand the paintings you're looking at. I mean, I don't need to pretend, as I know exactly what each and every painting represents; I am merely referring to the riff raff who bundle off of nearby cruise ships and go into the nearest venue for something to do. The fact I was on a cruise and would have never have otherwise visited this art gallery is purely coincidental! In all seriousness though, a brilliant gallery with a good number of staff and invigilators on hand to help. Very reasonable entry price too. I never used the café as it was too busy, but from a pure art and culture standpoint, fully recommend.

Went here with nothing much else to do on a Sunday, but what an unexpected delight. 10 yr old daughter loved it (and free entry for under 18s). What a great collection. The temporary exhibition of Albert Marquet was incredibly well presented - blew me (and several others while I was there) away. Loved it
