Fabre Museum

About

The Musée Fabre is not merely an old concrete building near Place de la Comédie, but holds an atmosphere as heavy and warm as an old bookshelf. Passing through the entrance, what catches the eye first is the wide, high-ceilinged central hall, a space that carries a stillness as if lightening the passage of time. Thin light filtering along the walls brushes over richly colored paintings, and the works on display here seem to speak as they catch this light. Among the exhibited works are the Impressionist masterpieces donated by Fabre, and paintings continuing the Impressionist lineage such as Alfred Bruyas's 'Bonjour Monsieur Courbet,' making one feel as though strolling through the heart of poetry and recovering the sentiment of a forgotten era.
