Recommended for painters' lovers. It's big, the works displayed are amazing, it does take time to visit it all, so it's highly recommended to have a good meal right before you enter.I do think it's expensive for a "ville" museum.

The Fabre Musuem is housed in a very beautiful old building which is delightful to wander through. Staff at entry are friendly and helpful and the permanent collection is large and interesting. Difficult to cover in a day - certainly worth a visit if you are in Montpellier.

An hour or two at the Fabre in between coffee and aperitifs is always worthwhile.If the temporary exhibition doesn't appeal (Viallat this summer, admittedly not to everyone's taste) there is the opportunity to browse through the more traditional galleries.The admission is good value and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

This is a real find in the heart of the city and it has some wonderful artworks many by well known artists as well as those lesser known to overseas visiter's but which are still of merit and highly regarded by the French. The building is beautiful and it was so easy to get around and there were no crowds! In fact on my visit hardly anyone there.Allow a visit of around 2 hours and you can see most of the works and still (weather permitting) go outside and sit in one of Montpellier's cafes in the park opposite and watch the world or a lot of the Montpellier's residents (mainly with their cute little dogs), walk by.

We enjoyed a few hours exploring the Musee Fabre and the furnished house around the corner which is included in the entrance ticket. A wide range of art from different periods, displayed in a lovely building. Despite being the middle of August it was very quiet and we enjoyed a relaxing stroll around.
