Has an excellent 14th- to 20th-century collection (mainly paintings) that ranges from the French masters Ingres, Fragonard and Watteau to the Florentine Lorenzo Lippi to Flemish and Dutch Golden Age painters such as Jacob Jordaens. Also has a section on the history of Angers and hosts two special expositions a year. The audio guide, in four languages, is free. Don't miss the exuberant sculpture in the courtyard, L'Arbre Serpents (Serpent Tree) by Niki de Saint Phalle.
A hulking blue gorilla by the sculptor Oliver Courty (2019) can be found in the garden out back, accessible from 37 rue Toussaint.
