Tip

Visit the museum before discovering Cambrai’s streets! The audiovisual show of the town’s relief map at the end of the 17^th century relates the history of Cambrai. 

Installed in the Hôtel de Francqueville (1720), the museum houses one of the richest collections of the North region. Combining a carefully laid out museography and refined aesthetic, it was arranged to create a genuine casket for those works of art, which dated from Prehistory to 21^st century. The surprising department dedicated to Cambrai’s Heritage is one of the strong points of this museum. You can start the visit with an audiovisual show combined to the relief map of the town. The important collection of fine arts insists more specifically on the art of portrait and landscape in the 19^th century (Ingres, Chassériau, Claudel, Rodin, Boudin, Le Sidaner and Bourdelle). The visit goes on with the geometrical abstraction movement illustrated by the aesthetical renew of the 20^th and 21^st
