About Museum of Fine Arts of Caen
The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen is one of France's most important regional art museums, housing an exceptional collection of European paintings from the 15th to 21st centuries. Located within William the Conqueror's medieval castle, the contemporary museum building creates a striking architectural contrast with the 11th-century fortress walls. The permanent collection spans over 2,000 square meters across four levels, featuring masterpieces by Italian, French, Flemish, and Dutch masters including works by Dürer, Tintoretto, Veronese, Rubens, Monet, and Bonnard.

The museum's remarkable Mancel Collection was assembled by a passionate 19th-century collector who traveled twice to Rome specifically to attend sales of Cardinal Fesch's estate - Napoleon's own uncle. This extraordinary dedication resulted in acquiring 50,000 prints by masters like Dürer and Rembrandt, making it one of the most significant print collections in provincial France.
