World Art Awards Names Best Gallery In France, 2023: The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon

Each year the World Art Awards selects the 20 Best Galleries And Museums on the globe; only one museum or gallery per country per year. Among other criteria, selections are based on years established, industry reputation, location, size, socially relevant exhibits, motivational and educational programs, represented artists as well as artist, client and visitor references.

World Art Awards: “In our Top 20 for 2023, we chose a museum over 140,000 sq ft, and some contemporary art galleries much smaller. We selected some European historical museums with art and antiquities going back thousands of years, and also some with masterpieces by Botticelli, Mantegna, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rubens, Rembrandt, Renoir, Monet, Gauguin, Chagall, Matisse, Picasso, etc.. To balance, we selected some very new and contemporary hotspots in diverse countries and cultures representing important young work, from painting to digital to photography to sculpture. We decided on large, modern art centers in Ghana and Zambia. In China / Hong Kong, we opted for a boundary-pushing contemporary facility with an influential international presence. In Israel and Latvia we went with stunning underground crypt and subbasement venues which are cherished tourist attractions.”

World Art Awards: “Our Best in France, The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, is loacted in the heart of the Presqu’île de Lyon, in the magnificent setting of a 17th century abbey and its cloister, now a sculpture garden. The encyclopedic collections of the museum present in five departments and 70 rooms, spread over 75,000 sq ft, a panorama of great civilizations and artistic schools from Antiquity to the present day. Painting, sculpture, works of art, coins and medals, graphic works: they offer an exceptional journey through 5,000 years of art and history with masterpieces by Veronese, Rubens, Rembrandt, Poussin, Renoir , Monet, Gauguin, Chagall, Matisse and Picasso.”
