Musée Henri Matisse

The Musée Départemental Henri Matisse invites you to discover a new experience of the master?s work. In a completely redesigned museography, the artist?s creations are revealed in all their diversity, offering a dialogue of colors, shapes and techniques.

An ideal way to explore the creative wealth of a man deeply attached to his native Cateau-Cambrésis.

With an extension of 1,000 m², the many personal works bequeathed by Matisse himself and those later donated by his family are revealed in a unique, sensitive and educational tour. This unique collection is complemented by the Tériade donation, with works by Picasso, Chagall, Giacometti, Auguste Herbin and Geneviève Claisse.

Behind the museum, the park of the Palais Fénelon extends the experience with a green setting. A mix of formal and formal gardens, this site invites visitors to immerse themselves in the senses, discovering 175 species of trees and sculptural works. A perfect extension to the visit, offering the ideal setting for contemplation and relaxation.
