The Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art is a museum in the Loire Valley of France, housed in a Renaissance castle built in the 15th century by Jean de Chambes and standing directly on the bank of the river. The castle was made famous by Alexandre Dumas's novel La Dame de Monsoreau. It was converted into a museum by the collector Philippe Méaille and opened in 2016. The collection concentrates on the British-based conceptual art group Art & Language, one of the most important of the collections of its kind. It stands within the Loire Valley area that UNESCO has listed as a World Heritage landscape.
