Fesch Museum — Attraction in Ajaccio

Inconsistent family concept

We were right in the middle of doing one of the family panflets when we first earned many mean looks and surveillance by the first floor staff. We didn't do anything wrong though, didn't run around, didn't touch anything, didn't eat, only talked about the art and the panflet. That probably annoyed them. Then all of a sudden we were told off VERY RUDELY for leaving our trolley in another room for a second while completing one of tasks (you had to search for a painting).

While the range of art is quite limited by the standards of some world museums, mainly dating from the 16th-18th centuries, there is a lot of really excellent stuff here and the museum deserves to be better known. This is one of the highlights of Ajaccio which is a fascinating town with lots to...
