Musée <strong>de</strong>s beaux-arts<br />
<strong>de</strong> <strong>Rennes</strong><br />
<strong>Rennes</strong> fine art museum is, like <strong>the</strong> majority of French museums,<br />
<strong>the</strong> result of <strong>the</strong> revolution. Established in 1794, it contains<br />
some of <strong>the</strong> Prési<strong>de</strong>nt <strong>de</strong> Robien's collection of curiosities. Its<br />
collections were expan<strong>de</strong>d over three centuries with additions<br />
from Government, donations, and bequests. Since <strong>the</strong> beginning<br />
of <strong>the</strong> 20th century, State and City support ma<strong>de</strong> in feasible<br />
to introduce an acquisition policy that today showcases <strong>the</strong><br />
collections of 17th century French painting, with Georges <strong>de</strong> la<br />
Tour's Nouveau né remaining <strong>the</strong> flagship piece.<br />
Since <strong>the</strong> first <strong>Ateliers</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Rennes</strong> — biennale d’art<br />
contemporain, <strong>the</strong> museum received a Nicolas Floch' piece<br />
in 2008, and expan<strong>de</strong>d its collection of historic pieces with<br />
work from Pieter Engels, Robert Filliou, and Giuseppe Pinot<br />
Gallizio, while 2010 saw a Yona Friedman piece ad<strong>de</strong>d to <strong>the</strong><br />
museum patio. As for each session of <strong>Ateliers</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Rennes</strong>, <strong>the</strong><br />
museum will be linked to <strong>the</strong> project launched by <strong>the</strong> exhibition<br />
commissioner, with a view to forging a link between mo<strong>de</strong>rn<br />
creativity and work that is already part of <strong>the</strong> history of art,<br />
Western or o<strong>the</strong>rwise.<br />
