Things to do in Montpellier, Occitanie: The Best Museums
Getting sick on vacation is a major drag, but if you have to be under the weather, Montpellier is an ideal place to do it. People have studied medicine here for centuries—the Moors established medical schools in the 9th century, and the Université Montpellier’s school of medicine was founded in 1220. Once the local docs give you a clean bill of health, explore the cathedral, mansions and opera house.

En Traits Libres is a very unique place in that it simultaneously acts as an artist studio, a gallery space and a boutique. 12 artists and one publishing house (Six Pieds Sous Terre) share the space: art covers the walls and books fill the shelves. Feel free to come in, have a look around, and talk to the artists working there - we love welcoming the public and sharing our process with others. :) Our opening hours are variable and correspond to the diverse working hours of the members. However, the studio/gallery/boutique is open every day of the week and sometimes on the weekends. If we are closed when you come by, don't hesitate to come back another time, or to give us a call! The 12 artists that are part of En Traits Libres are: Florence Billet, Marie-Noëlle Wurm, Ganaëlle Maury, Laure Papini, Christophe Bauer, Thomas Romarin, Mattt Konture, Sandra Vérine, Karine Castelneau, Frédérique Dupuis, Gaëtan Lüpke, Jacques Velay.

The musee Fabre is a fantastic destination in Montpellier, we paid 10 euros and saw the Picasso exhibition which was well presented and certainly showed his sense of humour, the ticket gives entry to the permanent collection which starts off with some exhibits on art restoration then the gallery unfolds over many floors with room after room of wonderful paintings, - I think the ticket allows you to go back as you might need to explore in stages, entry to the maison sebattiere is included, and whilst attractive is relatively small and won't take long! It shouldn't be a surprise to find something of the quality of the Fabre in Montpellier, there should just be more like it!

It is easy to find pavillon as the building is very characteristic and located near a highly attended Place de la comedie. We have seen two exhibitions, one presenting photos from ghettos and the other one presenting propaganda photos of Hitler, taken by his faithful, personal photographer. Both were interesting and moving, for me particularly as I am from Poland, where the majority of the photographed ghettos were located. Short but informative descriptions help to understand the photos but do not dominate them. A great supplement to the history lessons. A bit too heavy topic for summertime and holidays, so the exhibition was not crowded. But well organized and worth seeing for sure.
