Montpellier Art Galleries
(Montpellier, Herault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, FR)



There are a number of exceptional art galleries within Montpellier, where pieces by historical French impressionist artists can be found, along with other more worldly works. The Musée Atger is amongst the best and houses a collection of paintings, which was brought together by its namesake, Xavier Atger, and donated to the Faculty of Medicine in Montpellier.

Recently renovated at great cost, the Musée Fabre is a real treasure-house of an art gallery. The museum's impressive collection of paintings is housed in a former 17th-century Jesuit college.
