Fine Arts Museum, Calais (must see)

Opened in 1966, the fine art museum is notable for its amazing works of art from Rodin's famous bronze statue of Six Burghers and Flemish artists in the 15th century to a modern art collection of the present day, which includes works by Picasso. Also on display are the collections of 400,000 samples of lace - both machine and handmade, and elements relating to the history and geology of the area. Designed by architect Paul Pamart, the building has been divided into two departments, the lace division containing old antique handicrafts and fine arts presenting accessories, costumes and lingerie.
