The best museums Saint-Priest-En-Jarez

It is impossible to miss it: while arriving at Saint-Etienne from the North, the black and white walls of Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain announce it to the travellers. It is one of the most important cultural places of the city. Its collection, with works of 20th and 21st century, is rich in great names like Andy Warhol, Fernand Léger, Picasso, Miro, Wassily Kandisky, Pierre Soulages... More recent personalities of the contemporary art, such Orlan or Gilbert and George are also present at the Museum. The totality of this artistic wealth is not visible in one time: the space available does not allow to expose all of them, and a considerable part of the collections are lent to other museums in the world. The museum also offers many temporary exhibitions, to explore the most forward-thinking facets of the contemporary art. The entrance is free on the first Sunday of each month.

Saint-Étienne is the only city to have kept its tramway without interruption since its creation. A transport museum was therefore necessary. In a vast room, you will discover the history of the tram, the preferred means of transport in the heart of the people of Stephan. Coaches, trolleybuses... are also mentioned for having contributed to the history of the Saint-Etienne conurbation. You will rediscover the green Vetra BB trolleybus, which was in use in the 1960s. You are welcomed by enthusiasts who will be happy to provide you with additional information. A story to discover with life-size vehicles, a real pleasure for young and old alike.
