Tips
The Parisian architect Jules Bourdais built the building in the neo-Greek style, taking inspiration from the west facade of the Palais de Justice in Paris. Inaugurated in 1876, it allowed Justice to leave the building on the Place du Vieux-marché which became the Museum in 1881. The two stone lions on either side of the staircase were replaced after the Second World War by the statues of Bernardin de Saint-Pierre and Casimir Delavigne.
