Museum housing 590 works, including Giacometti's beautiful Grande femme III.

This museum has the distinction of having been created by the famous Fauvist painter himself. During his lifetime, he donated eighty works that today make up its permanent collection. A must-see for art lovers... The vast residence in the heart of Cateau-Cambrésis is also well worth a visit! The museum reopened in November 2024 after extensive renovation and expansion work. Modernized and enriched, it's sure to dazzle you!

A nice museum with a good Matisse collection and works by Chagal and Herbin. If you are not French [speaking] it's a trial, very little information in other languages. The security people are 'on your back' a lot, because the museum closes for lunch [!] they practically push you out the door. Not only is the museum centered around Matisse, the whole town is. Getting a seat at a resaurant during that forced lunch break is a problem if you do not reserve in advance. Keep all this in mind: get to the town early, try and reserve restaurant seats so that when you get thrown out at lunch time there is somwhere to go, we had to leave town to get somthing good to eat.
