Musee des Beaux Arts de Tours

The wealth from Cardinal Richelieu's seventeenth century battle against the Huguenots and the craftsmanship seized from monasteries amid the Revolution all wound up at Tours' stellar exhibition hall of artistic work. Visitors come across the world and they enjoy a lot here.

As a result of their religious source there's a decent collection of Italian gothic natives from the fourteenth and fifteenth hundreds of years, while the two renaissance works of art by Andrea Mentegna are viewed as artful culminations.

You have over a thousand craftsmanship to get past, with design by Rodin, Flemish and Dutch painting by Rembrandt and Rubens, and Impressionism by Monet and Degas.
