Cultivate who you become

Behind each work lies often the obsession of a life or the passion of an avid collector. Starting January 25, 2026, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau will open its reserves to present a selection of pieces normally kept hidden from view. From painting to sculpture, this route tells how the desires and visions of a few individuals shaped a unique artistic heritage across the centuries. The exhibition also sheds light on the métiers of the shadows, like restoration and conservation, essential for these treasures to reach future generations in perfect condition. Between recent acquisitions and historical masterpieces, this journey testifies to human curiosity in all its forms. A privileged opportunity to admire these cultural gems until June 30, 2026.
