The best museums Ardèche

Weird, did you say weird? In fact, this museum houses works of popular art. Brut art, naive art, marginal art, rural art. Founded in 1971 by Serge Tekielski, said Candide, a distant cousin of the Cheval Cheval, brocaner, passionate collector. In this beautiful typical house of Bas-Vivarais 200 atypical works, sculptures, paintings, drawings, religious objects, rural objects… A room entirely devoted to the works of Gérard Lattier, a contemporary painter born in 1937. Today his wife Madeleine continues to make us discover this collection.

A rare museum that leads us to discover the work of a lifetime. This life transformed under our eyes in works of art is that of Joseph Junique, whose wooden marvels are présente and translucent, sculpted in a very original way. Joseph says Alexey Junique first created polychrome toys in wood and musical instruments, and then evolves by giving shape to glued objects such as these vases or cuts. Finally, he discovers the translucent wood to use it as a jewellery material giving rise to real jewelry. In our eyes, it is a love story that is unfolding, that of a simple and brilliant man with a noble and living material, wood. A museum to discover with interest.
