Bona-Helø Museum of Art

About

The Musée Bonnat-Helleu is renowned for its rich collection centered on Spanish and English painting and the works of 19th-century French masters. Its drawing room in particular boasts a level of excellence rare outside Paris, with studies by Rubens and drawings by Rembrandt drawing the eye. The lighting flowing along the halls crosses between ancient Egyptian artifacts and masterpieces of Impressionism, slowly guiding the visitor's footsteps. The moment Boudin's landscapes or Degas's abstract lines fill the space, a stillness as though time had stopped settles in. The museum's walls are filled with paintings that carry the artists' spirit, as though their touch still remains here.
