The CAP is a museum complex in the heart of downtown Mons, consisting of 3 entities:
- The Museum of Fine Arts
- The former Jean Lescarts house, recently renovated to house the Collections House, a museum site dedicated to the history of Mons through the town's collections;
- The "Buttery pear Tree" garden, which combines a stone collection, social spaces, and permaculture, linking the first two entities.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Mons highlights the incredible richness of the city's collections through its temporary exhibitions. It explores regional artists and movements (École de Mons (2019), Anto-Carte (2021)), and offers high-quality international exhibitions (Vincent Van Gogh (2015), Niki de Saint-Phalle (2018), Roy Lichtenstein (2020), Joan Miró (2022), Auguste Rodin (2024)). Today, the Museum of Fine Arts in Mons is embarking on a new direction, asserting an essential role within the city. With the "Buttery pear Tree" garden and the Collections House , the museum is freeing itself from its four walls, opening up to the city with its historical, urban, memorial, and societal challenges.

Lieu tres accueillant et toujours de belles expositions. Celle sur les artistes belges inspirés par le communisme est remarquable.
Nous nous sommes présentés devant le musée ce dimanche vers 16h50 avec nos enfants. Notre fille terminait une glace avant notre entrée. Nous ignorions que la dernière admission était fixée à 17h et qu'une réservation était nécessaire dans le cadre de la gratuité du dimanche (?). À 17h02, l'accès nous a été refusé, ce que je peux comprendre. En revanche, je regrette le manque de souplesse de la situation : nous étions déjà devant l'entrée avant 17h et un membre du personnel nous voyait à travers la vitre attendre sans nous signaler que le délai était sur le point d'expirer. Ce dernier a laissé entrer une personne ayant une réservation pour 17h (malgré le délai horaire passé). Ce n'est donc pas la règle qui me déçoit, mais l'absence d'information proactive et de flexibilité pour quelques minutes seulement. Dommage, car cela laisse une impression peu accueillante.
We have just tried to get in the museum without success. They sell tickets only until 16.55. After that you can't get in. It was such a disappointment so please, update this information because I trusted the info in goggle that says that it closes at 18.00 but this information was not there. I presume that they were in a hurry to close...
Tolle Ausstellungen!
Jammer dat er alleen maar een vaste collectie te zien is in de winter.
