Par contre je vous le conseille avec un guide.
Les oeuvres réalisées par les compagnons sont magnifiques.
Les vitrines de présentations des outils sont exceptionnelles.
Bonne visite!
Prix très raisonnable ! Allez y ????
La poésie des mises en scène des outils va au delà d'une simple scénographie, elle invite à la rêverie.
Pour s'imprègner de ce musée, prévoir du temps ! Nous avons eu grand plaisir à y rester 4 heures ! (sinon, 1h30 permet déjà une belle immersion ????). Penser que 65 vitrines sont à explorer !
Les bâtis vernaculaires qui hébergent ces collections sont remarquables.
