Spanish art at Castres

A bequest of 3 Goya paintings 100 years ago lead to the foundation of the Musee Goya at Castres in the south Tarn. Paintings and other Spanish works were loaned permanently by the Louvre and gradually the Musee has built up the biggest collection of Spanish works of art in France. This summer the Musee is presenting a collection of works by Salvador Dali designed to be illustrations for "livres d'artiste". From 27th June - 26th October. The Musee is housed in a former episcopal palace designed by Mansart, one of the architects of Versailles. Sounds like a good day out to Castres   link to:    Musee Goya
