GREAT HALL

The magnificent Great Hall was inaugurated at the beginning of the 20th century.

This monumental space, which took thirty long years to complete – the architect did not live to see it finished – is the museum’s splendid feather in its cap. The upward-stretching arches, the rounded vaults, the striking columns and the elegant gallery all give the sensation of entering a magnificent Neo-Classical temple where you can admire, in awe, over two million works of art.
