Musée des Beaux-arts – Hôtel Fayet

Chi siamo

Built in the 17th century and expanded in the 19th, the Hôtel Fayet is a gem of Béziers. Formerly the home of the Fayet family, it became a museum in 1966 and houses 19th-century works as well as the studio collection of sculptor Jean-Antoine Injalbert.

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 hotel was first 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.

The studio collection of Béziers sculptor Jean-Antoine Injalbert is a major attraction. 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 modeler is on display in the permanent exhibition, which focuses on his preparatory work.
