The museum was established by Napoléon Bonaparte in 1801.[citation needed] The museum building was built between 1877, and 1888 to designs by Louis Sauvageot [fr].[citation needed] The collections include paintings, sculptures, drawings and objets d'art from the Renaissance to the present day, including a collection of Russian icons dating from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century, and some 8000 drawings.

The Rouen Museum of Fine Arts is one of the main regional museums in France6. It is located in the heart of the city, opposite Square Verdrel, in a building whose complete renovation was completed in 1994.[1]
In addition to the presentation of its collections, the Museum of Fine Arts organizes several exhibitions a year. Some have an international impact and contribute to its reputation. In 2006, for example, the museum, having presented eight temporary exhibitions, among which the "Masterpieces of the Museums of Florence", increased the number of visitors from 87,000 to 154,000.[2] The Normandie impressionniste festival, the exhibition "A city for impressionism: Monet, Pissarro and Gauguin in Rouen" attracted 240,000 visitors,[3] which made it the highlight of the festival.
