The museum’s collections

The Musée d’arts de Nantes collections have been developed over time, not least by acquiring pieces by living artists. Purchases on the art market, donations or bequests, today more than 14,000 artworks make up the collections in all, across four categories: Old Masters, 19th century, modern art and contemporary art.
