The best museums France

This municipal museum offers beautiful collections bequeathed in the past by the employers of Mulhouse. It offers a good overview of the history of art, of French painting as well as numerous works by regional artists. The 19th century is the strong point of the collections. Let us not forget the Alsatian artist Jean-Jacques Henner, to whom a room is dedicated. Finally, contemporary creation can be discovered on the second floor, with internationally renowned artists and visual artists from the Mulhouse region. This museum is experiencing an increase in attendance.

Near the Vosges, in one of the most wooded communes of the Meuse is the only museum in the Lorraine horse. It is in the enclosure of a former fort castle, in the upper town of Gondrecourt and which Richelieu ordered Destruction in 1633, that you can discover the different collections. In the proud Round Tower that has remained standing, we are aware of the driving force of the animal, its essential role in the culture of the land, in the army and in the crafts. We discover a multitude of objects devoted to the horse: stirrups, necklaces, jaws, stools of different eras and fers. See also: the work tools of the you-farriers and the bourrelier and the care room. Horse lovers will appreciate.

The naive art museum settled in the Château Sainte-Hélène de Fabron in 1982, ancient house of the perfumer François Coty. This site owes its existence to the donation of arts critics Anatole and Renée Jakovsky who gave him their name. It shows works unique in the world tracing the history of from the 17th century to nowadays: South America, Haiti, Croatia, Central Europe, Europe… Three themes feature the permanent collections: the city in the countryside; fables and popular tales and the history of naive art. You will find the works, sculptures, posters and drawings of more or less famous artists such as Rabuzin, Bauchant, Party, Ivan and Josip Généralic, Grandma Moses, O'Brady, Haddelsey, Rimbert, Vivin, Séraphine, Lefranc, Vivancos….
