The Musée d'art et d'histoire Fribourg, housed in an elegant Renaissance palace and former abattoir, is located in the heart of a picturesque old town. It collects mainly works of art and historical objects from the canton. This essentially indigenous collection includes some internationally-acclaimed pieces: belt buckles from the early Middle Ages, the Paschal sepulchre from the Maigrauge convent, painted altarpiece panels by Hans Fries, late Gothic statuary, paintings and sculptures by Marcello and his friends (19th century), and works by visual artists Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle. The museum's gardens are the setting for monumental sculptures.
