[actual visit took place in December 2022] This is a fantastic museum with plenty of nice paintings on display. The building itself is an interesting example of the architecture from the times when North of France had a stronger economic standing. We would recommend dedicating at least 2-3 hours to visiting this museum. It could be a good thing to do in the 2nd half of the day, before hitting the bar scene (there are plenty of good restaurants and bars in the walking distance from this museum).

This is a beautiful museum, the building is old and magnificent, but what is the most interesting here in the art. You can admire a lot of beautiful art pieces even the old Egypt, Roman times etc, but what I liked the most is their paintings, especially beautiful pieces by impressionist. Not to miss while in Lille.

A very pleasant surprise. By mete coincedence we ended up in Lille and decided to visit this museum. Quite a collection of paintings with Monet, Seurat, Sisley, Manet, Rubens, many Dutch such as Frans Hals and Jan Steen, also Goya and Velasquez, and many other luke a Picasso and Brueghel. Quite some beautiful sculptures a.o. Rodon and Zadkime. Reliefs in the basement from appro 15 cities. Never seen before..And paintings and other relics from the middle ages. Very much worth a visit.

We are fortunate to have visited many museums all over the world and this is one I would not particularly rave over. A lot of the exhibits were not to our taste but there was a Monet exhibition which totally made ghe visit worthwhile.The building itself is beautiful but many of the exhibits were somewhat disappointing. I really felt they have a huge space there and not enough pieces.

I particularly appreciated my visit to the Fine Arts musuem. The relief maps on the first floor are amazingly intricate, and it's nice to be able to explore the map of Lille. Some interesting paintings and objects are spread throughout the museum. Great.
