Musee d'Art et d'Archeologie, Senlis

It is a beautiful museum, beautiful expositions, beautiful staff and beautiful building inside and outside. The archeology part is our favourite, easily the best we have ever seen. It is worth the € 6 they charge. More than that, the charge covers one more museum (the hunting museum) across the road located in a gorgeous park. Every first Sunday of the months museums in Senlis are free. The lunch break is from 1 to 2pm. Wonderful staff, and there is information in English. If you have a bulky bag, it should be left in a locker at the entrance. The museum is three floor, we spent one hour but we would gladly spend another hour should we not be in a hurry to catch bus to Paris. We will stop by again, when in Senlis.

Quick museum, the painting part is richer than the other two. The building is just as interesting as the exhibitions, the vaulted ceilings, the basement, the old parts ... The reception is nice. A short tour if you are in Senlis can be instructive.
