Musée Denys-Puech in Rodez, presenting a collection of sculptures and hosting other contemporary exhibitions

Inaugurated in 1910 and renovated in the 1980s, this fine arts museum is essentially devoted to sculpture, and in particular to the works of Denys Puech, who donated the funds to the town and persuaded his painter and engraver friends (Maurice Bompard and Eugène Viala) to do likewise. Temporary exhibitions of contemporary art are held regularly in the basement and upstairs. On the façade, the six bronze dogs by the artist Aurèle illustrate the structure's interest in creation. The museum can be visited on its own or with a guide.

Musée avec 3 espaces distincs:
Sous sol:
- Eugène Viala (un de mes chouchous, avec ses estampes, gravures "Fantastiques").
Rez de chaussée:
- Denys Puech (sculptures plâtre-marbre-bronze de muses, sirène...) et autres artistes aveyronnais.
1er étage:
- Maurice Bompard avec ses œuvres précises, fines, détaillées où les personnages, décors jouent avec la lumière.
Le musée en lui-même est une très belle bâtisse donnant sur 1 parking.
Je ne peux pas poster de photos, c'est dommage...

So glad this was free as I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Mostly unimpressive sculptures in my view and mediocre paintings. Plus all descriptions and placards are only in French.
