The Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology
A cultural stop on the Vienne audio-guided tour, the Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology occupies an elegant building in the heart of the city. To discover and understand the history of Vienne, nothing beats a visit to its collections.
A former grain hall
The museum is housed in a former grain hall built in 1823, on place Miremont, by a mayor of the same name in office from 1816 to 1830. At that time, the vast neighbouring archbishops' palace and other buildings had just been demolished to free up space in the city. The square and the hall came into being together. The building was converted in 1895 to house a museum and a library.
What to see
The museum's three sections bring together collections ranging from the Neolithic to the present day, remarkable paintings from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century and medieval Vienne ceramics. An ideal visit to trace more than two thousand years of the city's history.
