Every year a carefully chosen research theme allows you to trace the life of the city a while ago.

MUSEUM EASTERN

Specialized museum
4.5/5
2 reviews

Restored and built in a museum, the Hotel des Echevins houses the works of Maurice Estève (1904-2001). This painter from Culan donated to the city of Bourges a remarkable set of pieces representative of the evolution of his work. The artist's research and questioning, as well as his confrontation and participation in the artistic movements of the twentieth century, can be traced in chronological order. Little by little, abstraction replaces the figurative, its vision of the world thickens, light and balance impregnate its compositions. Estève began painting at the earliest age and only stopped in 1998. An amateur of great masters like Fouqet, Cézanne, Poussin or Uccello, he drew inspiration from his inspiration to feed his work throughout his life. The beautiful course of the museum is enhanced by the exceptional surroundings of the three floors of the Hotel des Echevins.

A stage of the Jacques Coeur Road, the Museum des Métiers is established within the Silver Castle built in the xiiith century and has an elegant park where the promenade rhymes with pleasure, it is a beautiful domed nature drawn by the botanist and encyclopedist Duhamel of Montceau. Located just on its side, the Saint-André church, classified as a historic monument in 1944, built in the xiiith century and restored in 1892 by Octave Guérin, is pleasantly placed at the Trade Museum. Completely atypical, it proposes on three levels spaces recreating workshops of craftsmen of iron, fire and wood such as charron, cordier, blacksmith, dinandier, sabotage, sweetheart, joiner, carpenter, brass, brass, joiner, carpenters… fleurir the various traditions of architecture in France have disappeared well. This stated, a big thank you to the municipality that managed to preserve this construction coquette and its park, acquiring it in 1957, thus, by ricochet, embraced the motto of the Museum: Anyone who forgets his past is condemned to do so again. It would be wrong to forget to mention the magnificent collection of butterflies and birds in a room dedicated to Father Théophile Moreux (1867-1954), famous priest astronomer argentais.
