Museum housing a prestigious collection of French and foreign earthenware, fine art and furniture

In the neo-Gothic mansion (1862, recently renovated) of the illustrious Henri Barré, local doctor, art lover, traveler and artist. Here you can admire a prestigious collection of French and foreign earthenware, fine art (Flemish school in particular) and furniture. Several rooms are devoted to local history, featuring portraits and objects that belonged to the Dukes of la Trémoïlle. You'll also discover the famous Duhomard, a Thouars-style aperitif designed by Emile Diacre. Each year, 1/3 of the collections are presented in the form of a thematic exhibition.

Un très joli musée qui vaut le détour. Nous avons vraiment apprécié. Le jardin et la vue valent aussi le détour. À visiter, surtout qu'il est gratuit !

Gratuit. Le charme d'un musée à l'ancienne. Pour amateurs seulement, mais un lieu étonnant

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais soudain je me suis souvenu etre passee par chez vous...et j'ai eu envie de vous laisser un petit com. Visiter la maison du Dr Barrer, c'est un peu comme visiter la maison de Victoir Hugo, en mieux. Certe il est bien moins connu, mais sa maison a garde le souvenir d'une epoque, une ambiance...mecene ses collections y sont exposees, je me souviens aussi d'autres objets varies amusants a decouvrir.
Maintenant que je vis a Paris, je l'imagine aisement deambuler le long des grands boulevards...
Merci Dr Barre.
Au plaisir de vous revoir.
