Redeployment of collections

Thanks to the Fonds du Patrimoine and the arrears from the Guillaux bequest, the museum is able to pre-empt the portrait of Aignan Thomas Desfriches, a key figure in the development of the arts in 18th-century Orléans, by Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, whose work is the world's largest collection in the museum.

Start of the redeployment of the collections, until 2025. 1300 works are now on display.

Jean-Baptiste Perronneau (1715-1783), Portrait of Aignan-Thomas Desfriches, 1751. Inv. 2016.4.1 Museum of Fine Arts
