The museum's origins trace back to the French Revolution, when artworks confiscated from dissolved religious institutions around Orléans were gathered by local patron Aignan-Thomas Desfriches and painter Jean Bardin. This revolutionary-era salvage effort laid the foundation for the collection decades before the museum was formally established in 1825.
