Charles Felix was an avid patron of art and culture. In 1824, he acquired [[Hautecombe Abbey]], where many of his ancestors were buried and entrusted a restoration programme to the architect [[Ernesto Melano]].

In the same year, he was responsible for the acquisition of a good part of the collection which now constitutes the [[Museo Egizio]] in Turin. The pieces were acquired from [[Bernardino Drovetti]], a native of [[Barbania]], who was then the French [[Consul (representative)|consul]] in Egypt. The collection was placed in the [[Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze (Turin)|Palazzo dell'Accademia delle Scienze]], which is still the site of the museum.

In 1827, Charles Felix instituted the Chamber of Commerce and the School of Palaeography and Diplomacy, affiliated with the Academy of Painting and Sculpture.
