Musée Bonnat

The Musée Bonnat-Helleu is an art museum in Bayonne, Aquitaine, France. The museum was created in 1901 when Bayonne-born painter Léon Bonnat gave his extensive personal collections of art – notably an exceptional drawing collection – as well as many of his paintings to the City of Bayonne. Subsequent donors enriched the collections of the Bonnat Museum with major gifts in 1936, 1988, 1992 and 2009-2010, making its holdings one of the largest collections of art in southern France.
