The Fine Arts Museum of Limoges, located in the 18th century former Bishop Palace, displays several highly interesting collections. There is a unique collection of enamels, impressionist paintings and archaeological objects from Gallo-Roman and Egyptian times.
The Episcopal palace was built between 1766-1773 for the Bishop of Limoges, Louis-Charles Duplessis d'Argentré.
Noteworthy is the chapel with a Suvée painting of Saint Louis venerating the relics of the Passion in a frame carved by Babel (1772), and a 19th century tabernacle in Neo-Romanesque style, tapestries, an Aubusson rug and some stained glass windows.
The palace was acquired by the city of Limoges in 1912.
