context_page_description: The Musée départemental de l'Oise is a museum in the former bishop's palace in Beauvais, Oise, in northern France. It is classified as a historical monument.
context_section_description: The museum opened after a major renovation on  25 January 2015. In the center of the renovated Bishop's Palace the "19th Century Tour" leads past works by artists such as Camille Corot, Alfred Sisley, Paul Huet, Prosper Marilhat and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
  There are decorative works by Alexis-Joseph Mazerolle and Pierre-Victor Galland, and ceramics by Jules-Claude Ziegler. 
  The huge unfinished canvas Enrôlement des volontaires de 1792 by Thomas Couture is displayed in the old courtroom, along with many preparatory sketches.
  The museum puts on temporary exhibitions several times each year dedicated to specific artists or artistic movements, stages lectures and holds children's workshops.
  The important Art Nouveau potter Auguste Delaherche was born in Beauvais, and later worked in the region.  The museum has his bust by Pierre Félix Masseau, and also claims to have the "most important" collection of his ceramics.
