Over the years, the museum's collection has grown hundreds of times. So it was transferred to the building of the old monastery in 1913 which is its current location. The main part of the exposition comprises collections of Renaissance paintings. The whole first floor accommodates works of art of the 20th century. There is also a collection of sculptures, engravings, and antique furniture. The church of Saint-Jacques is a remarkable object. It is the only church in the city that was not destroyed during the years of the revolution. The church was built in the 12th century and has been rebuilt repeatedly over hundreds of years. During the Great French Revolution, stables and barracks were stationed there. In the post-revolutionary period, reconstruction efforts started and are continuing at the present time. They succeeded in restoring a beautiful antique organ, antique stained-glass windows and various elements of decoration.
