About Museum of Fine Arts of Rouen
The Museum of Fine Arts of Rouen is one of France's most important art museums, housing over 8,000 works spanning from medieval primitives to contemporary paintings. Founded in 1801, the museum is housed in a purpose-built neoclassical building designed by architect Louis Sauvageot and completed in 1888. The collection boasts the largest assemblage of Impressionist paintings outside Paris, thanks to coal magnate François Depeaux who donated 53 masterpieces in 1909.

The museum houses Claude Monet's iconic 'Rouen Cathedral' painting from his legendary series, which art historians consider 'the summit of Impressionism.' Monet painted over 30 views of the cathedral between 1892-1894 from a rented room across the street, capturing the facade at different times of day and seasons to study how light transforms architecture.
