Musée des Beaux-Arts

The Musée des Beaux-Arts (Museum of Fine Arts) in Le Locle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been an institution for art lovers since the late 19th century. Changing temporary high-profiled exhibitions and attractive programmes for children still make the museum an exceptionally inspirational place to visit today. “Our Musée des Beaux-Arts opened ist doors to its first visitors in 1864 and in the beginning focused primarily on the Display of artists from Neuchâtel and its surrounding regions. This focus widened in the 20th century and our visitors today have the chance to see 20th century and contemporary works such as photographs, prints, and art installations by grand international artists,“ says Nathalie Herschdorfer, director at Musée des Beaux-Arts.
