Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the Bordeaux Cathedral, a 2 mins' walk away.
Environmental & Social
Some electricity usage to run the museum. Helps spread culture and the arts
Conclusion
The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux is an excellent museum, not on par with the most famous internationally of course but you won't be surrounded by thousands of tourists, and it is very affordable. The content is not really specific to the city or region so it should have a broad appeal and is a nice cultural activity to add to the mix, for tourists and residents alike.
Key positive
Nice building and garden
Inexpensive entrance fee
Key negative
No internationally famous masterpieces
Suitability
Suitable for all ages. Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility with a lift to go up the entrance stairs and access ramps.
