In 1801, French Minister Jean-Antoine Chaptal selected fifteen cities in which as many art museums as possible would be opened to display the large number of works of art collected/confiscated during the Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic period. Caen was chosen as the cultural capital of Normandy.

After several relocations of the collection, part of the museum burned down in 1905. The building, renovated in the 1930s, was then completely destroyed by air raids in 1944. It wasn't until 1971 that the new, modern building in the Château de Caen, designed by Jean Merlet, was inaugurated.
