Musée des Beaux-Arts de Béziers

The Musée des Beaux-Arts is a museum in Béziers, founded by the town's archaeological, scientific and literary society and opened to the public in the Hôtel de ville in 1859. It moved to Auguste Fabrégat's hôtel particulier, left to the town by him in 1879. In 1966 Gustave Fayet's family gave their

hôtel particulier at 9 rue du Capus to the town and early in the 1980s that building became an annexe to the museum, mainly housing the works by the sculptor Jean-Antoine Injalbert which were left to the town by his widow in 1934. By 2030 an art and history museum will occupy the former episcopal palace after it was vacated by the Palais de Justice.
