Museum of art and history

The Museum of art and history is a museum in the town of Fribourg in Switzerland. It is now kept in two main buildings - 16^th Century Hotel Retza and a former slaughterhouse - connected by both side of Rue Mo Morat and an underground passage. The arrangement of its galleries is a redesign in 1981. It consists mainly of sculptures, paintings and ornamental artworks from the medieval era to present day as well as the 17^th and 18^th century historic towns.

It includes a glass-working gallery and a gallery dedicated to sculptor Adele d'Affry. Africa was born in Freiburg and was the eldest daughter of Cowl Louis DeFree 1810-1841 and Lucie Malardos 1816-1897, who was the daughter of Phillip Marquis of Mylardos. D'free had a military family: Louis DeFree 1743-1810, his great-grandfather, was the first landman in Switzerland. Louise-Ageste Augustin counts himself to Africa, Adel's great-grandfather, dedicating himself to engraving and documenting military life.
