Lonely Planet review

Installed in the Faculté de Médecine, the Atger Museum is a unique collection of some 500 drawings that were left to the Medical School in the 19th century by Xavier Atger (1758-1833), a great art lover. Landscapes, historical scenes and even caricatures - the extensive collection includes every genre.

There are works by French artists from the region, as well as by artists of the Italian and Flemish schools, from the Renaissance up to the 19th century. Among the masters included are Giambattista Tiepolo, Van Dyck, Rubens and Fragonard.
