Marseille's oldest museum, founded in 1801, occupies the left wing of the Palais Longchamp with its celebrated fountain cascade. The collection spans Italian and Flemish painting of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, French masters from Poussin to Courbet, and Marseille's own Adolphe Monticelli.
