Traveler reviews
Dejana Sabo
★★★★★6 months agoThe Museum of Fine Arts is a small and charming museum where you are welcomed at the front desk by very friendly staff. The current exhibition on Maurice Denis vividly portrays his life during the 1920s. A strong recommendation is to purchase the €15 ticket, which covers admission to 10 museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts. Bonus information: it is possible to leave your belongings (a backpack and a jacket) in a locker and enjoy the exhibition completely unburdened.
