The first rooms illustrate the principal genres of academic painting: historical events, mythology, religious subjects, landscapes and portraiture, represented by such masters as Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Carl Van Loo, Antoine Coypel, Jean-Marc Nattier and Noël Hallé.

20th-century painting and sculpture is well covered, particularly the abstract art of the last 100 years, from Cubism to the present day. The artists featured include Thorvald Hellesen, Georges Valmier, Auguste Herbin, Victor Vasarely, Aurélie Nemours, Jean Gorin, François Morellet and Michel Jouët, all representing one of the major artistic trends of our time.
