Musée des Beaux-arts – Hôtel Fayet

Chi siamo

Built in the 17th century and enlarged in the 19th, the Hôtel Fayet is one of Béziers’ finest architectural jewels. Attached to the Fayet family, including Gustave, a wealthy entrepreneur, collector and painter. The Hôtel Fayet was originally an elegant bourgeois home, with a large artist’s studio, before becoming a museum after the building was sold to the city in 1966.

A branch of the former Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Hôtel Fayet displays part of the extraordinary collection of 19th-century paintings, from Romanticism to the academic painters of the Third Republic, including Delacroix, Géricault and Cabanel.

A major attraction is the studio collection of Béziers sculptor Jean-Antoine Injalbert. A neo-baroque artist with Italian and French influences, he was one of the most sought-after sculptors of his time. His incomparable talent as a modeller can be seen in the permanent exhibition, which focuses on the presentation of his preparatory work.
