Melun Art and History Museum

The museum offers paintings and sculptures linked to the history of the town from ancient times onwards, art collections including the works of Prix-de-Rome-winner Henri Chapu (1833-1891), masterpieces such as the 16th-century bronze of Barthélémy Prieur, 17th-century still lifes by Van Hulsdonck and 19th-century landscapes with the paintings of the Forest of Fontainebleau by Armand Cassagne (1823-1907).

Throughout the year, the Musée d’art et d’histoire de Melun presents temporary exhibitions devoted to artists or subjects linked to the collections. It also participates in national events such as the Long Night of Museums and the European Heritage Days.

Training courses by artists for adults and children are also offered, as well as talks and conferences.

Finally, tours, workshops and snacks for children aged 5 and above are organised during the summer holidays.
