An amazing collection of wonderful works created in the style of Outsider Art can be found in the museum “telling” about this - the Collection de l'Art Brut. It is worth noting that not only paintings but also figurines and sculptures are on display - all that artists have enough imagination for. Art connoisseurs head to the Fondation de l'Hermitage presenting an outstanding collection of works by impressionists. Among them are priceless paintings by Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Rene Magritte. The cultural institution is located in a park of the same name where you can walk and enjoy delightful green landscapes. Those who want to look at some wonderful photographic works are welcome to the Musee de l'Elysee.
