Cultural Lille
The pride of Lille is the Palais des Beaux Arts, the second largest museum in France after the Louvre. In addition to archaeological finds, sculptures and 18th-century scale model reliefs, this museum also displays the works of Dutch masters such as Rembrandt and Van Gogh. No wonder Lille was declared the cultural capital of Europe in 2004!
