Musée des Beaux-Arts de Mulhouse

The Fine Arts Museum of Mulhouse occupies a nineteenth-century mansion near the Place de la Réunion and holds a collection that spans painting and decorative arts from the sixteenth century to the twentieth. The works are drawn largely from donations by local industrialists — the textile barons who made Mulhouse wealthy — and include Dutch Golden Age paintings, French academic works, and a collection of prints and drawings. It's modest compared to the city's specialist museums but worth an hour for those who want a broader cultural overview of the region.
