The musée d'art et d'histoire de Narbonne is a museum in Narbonne. It displays the fine and decorative arts. It is particularly known for its ancient faïence collection and its remarkable collection of orientalist paintings. It and the Musée archéologique de Narbonne are the city's two main museums, both housed in the Palace of the Archbishops.
Its collections are not based on a previous collection but began to be formed from 1833 onwards through purchases, gifts, bequests and deposits.[1]
History
The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire was established as an initiative by Paul Tournal in 1833.[2]
Spaces
Housed in the former archbishops' rooms, the museum has important decorative features of its own, showing the building's evolution from the 17th century to the major restorations of the 19th century.
These include ceramics, furniture, miniature paintings and Limoges enamels. The faïence collections are particularly rich, with pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries from Nevers, Moustiers, Marseille and Rouen.
