Two stars for the works of art however three less for unprofessional staff. Today I witnessed a man touch a painting with his finger on the second floor and when I reported it to staff in the lobby I was verbally accosted and threatened by security staff. What an odd snd unjust reaction! One short man lounging on the side came an inch from and angrily barked: “you’re telling me I’m now doing my job?!!” Huh? What? What is this strange man on about? The other staff (two women and a older skinny man) said nothing while this little hot head escalated things. And then came the act of class and professionalism from other security staff: two Old men came and jumped to conclusions and verbally assaulted me. The larger of the two bumped into me and told me To get out. The ignorance and lack of professionalism from staff here is palpable. I suppose it must be extremely difficult to find professionally trained security staff in France that one must hire from the bottom of barrel. This is a ticking time bomb , especially if management wants to ensure guests feel safe and works of art are secured! Will someone get shot by security for reporting a fire?

Love the artwork! So many beautiful paintings however the staff here were so rude, lazy and unprofessional! I saw security staff checking their phones rather than doing their job and when my friend reported someone touching a painting security staff attacked him instead of doing anything about the problem! Wow! This gives a very poor impression and a very poor experience to us visitors!

Nice museum however unhelpful, lazy staff made experience rather unpleasant. They dont seem to have enough cameras or security staff, poor lady on top floor was running around between several rooms. Odd to find a museum like this so poorly managed! It has potential with many beautiful paintings.

What a place to have one stunning museum of fine arts than to be in one of the pavilions of the Stanislas square! It's one of the oldest museums in France and one spectacular place to visit. It costs €3.50 to enter. Wheelchair friendly, there's lifts as well as beautiful spiral staircases, public convenience, no restaurant inside (as far as I can tell). There's three major exhibition levels here and I suggest starting from the top and work your way down all the way to the last exhibition in the basement level underneath the main entrance pavilion. Paintings range from the early sixteenth century to modern art and sculptures. It's a comprehensive collection and I spent a good hour and a half going through most of the collection. Of interest perhaps is the Jean Prouvé works and the Daum collection of crystal wear at the lower ground level. Besides the spectacular building and the square its located in, this museum of fine arts is a must visit if you are visiting the gorgeous city of Nancy in the Lorraine district of France. Suitable for all ages and tastes in arts.

We were fortunate enough to visit on a Sunday where the entrance was free. We really enjoyed looking at the art, from the more modern to medieval style. The room with all the mirrors and lighter was mesmerizing!

Loved the museum. It got better the further in we went, in my opinion. The beginning hosts many old, religion inspired, pieces which I always find impressive but overwhelmingly nonsensical and rather boring. More modern art can be found on the lower floors and in the basement area. Entry is free under 27 years old and costs 10€ for anyone older.

The Musée contains a good collection of art from the middle ages to contemporary. There is a good section on Daum glassware in the basement which I suspect you wouldn't find else where. The collection turned out larger than I had expected so give yourself some time and maybe do some research first!

Ein wunderschönes Museum mit beeindruckenden Kunstwerken. Ruhige und angenehme Atmosphäre.

A very descent collection for a local art museum. There are definitely some problems with the lightning as sometimes I needed time to find a good spot to see all the details without reflects. Anyway, if you want a quiet hour for inspiration without being overwhelmed, that’s the place to be in Nancy. Also there is a painting by Lucian Freud!

Huge collection, amazing arts from Émile Friant!

Lot of great art pieces, whose all got the attention they need. Downside, much arts from the 17th century instead of from different time periods. The historical touch in the basement is a good addition. I would recommend this place.

Wow place. Museum houses art for every taste bud. Renaissance art on 1st and 2nd floor are gorgeous but I felt that they need to rethink the lightnings.

Hier sollte man sich Zeit nehmen Sehr viele schöne Stücke zu sehen Gerade im Keller ist eine tolle Sammlung an Jugendstil Glas zu sehen

Great museum, nice combination of old and contemporary art

Schönes Museum, viel größer als erwartet. Leider etwas verwinkelte, sodass die Orientierung etwas schwerfällt. Sehr abwechslungsreiche Sammlung, vom Mittelalter bis heute. Das Erdgeschoss ist leider etwas überladen.

Variety is the spice of life and so is this museum. For every style of art there is a painting or object in this museum. The art ranges from the European middle ages through to the modern era, with an Asian art section and a Jewish art section. What I found exciting is the layout of the floors. It isn't just square rooms with art on the walls... It has nooks and crannies that entice you to explore the whole building. This gives the visitor some unexpected suprises in discovering new, unexpected spaces and art. In the basement is an ancient wall that was found through archaeological digs, with a huge Daum, art nouveau glass and art deco glass vases up through until modern times. It was a pleasure for the eyes as the collection is colorful and quite extensive. Throughout the building there are some English translations about, art but it is limited. I would suggest using a Google Lens with translation feature if you aren't fluent in reading French. There is also a museum app that is used for an audiotour, but i didn't use it. Highly recommended if visiting Nancy.

Great place to spend a few hours. Located in the heart of Nancy, this museum has an impressive collection of art from different centuries. Don't forget to go to level minus 1 where you can see discovered parts of old town fortification.

Really impressive museum with a lot of amazing pieces and an incredible vase collection. Was a lot of fun to visit. Prices were (as of July 2023) Free for students or till age 26. From 27 it costs 10 euros a person.

A very nice and quite complete museum with a lot of different styles and very famous painters toi like Rubens, Manet,etc and very good local artists too. There's a department on crystal and China which is famous.

This is a very very impressive museum. When I saw it for the first time I had the impression that it is a kind of a concentrate between the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay. Besides the museum in itself, do not skip the Daum fine glass exposition, in the basement of the building ! Each time I go to Nancy i'm visiting it.

There are in my opinion two reasons to visit this museum: The collection of Emile Friant paintings and the fantastic selection of Daum glass. Everything else is forgettable. The lighting is also terrible, so you get nothing but glare a lot of the time when trying to appreciate the paintings.

Lovely place to wonder for a few hours. The glass exhibition in the basement was beautiful and unexpected.

In one word. Amazing. Beautiful art inside.

The collection of Daum glass is likely the best in the world. The time period of their greatest achievement is extremely well represented. The works in the collection by Émile Friant are some of his best, which includes a self portrait that demonstrates his technical mastery. Not to be missed. A true gem with an abundance of Christian iconography that is typical, but scale and several pieces are wonders. One will recognize a handful of well known works too. Grand Cafe Foy next door is a must for dessert and coffee.
