JEAN-LURÇAT MUSEUM
Read moreLocated a few meters from the banks of the Maine River, this museum is composed of two very distinct places. On the one hand, the Saint-Jean Hospital, in its magnificent 12th century room, houses Le Chant du monde, a masterpiece by Jean Lurçat. These ten panels, 80 metres long, are inspired by the famous tapestry of the Apocalypse by John of Bruges. The part known as the former orphanage dates from the 17th century and houses some sixty works exhibited chronologically, mixing temporary works and the museum's own collection (Jean Lurçat, Josep Grau-Garriga and Thomas Gleb).

THE THEATRE AND COSTUME MUSEUM
Read moreThe address is worth a little detour. But you need to book and be in a group to visit this museum. Created in 1954 by the village priest, Father Moreau, the People's education association concerned was very soon interested in amateur theatre. Thanks to the popular enthusiasm she aroused around her, she became a very large hiring of costumes, open to all troops, first of all, and then everywhere, really everywhere. It must be said that it has an impressive collection: 13 000 costumes ranging from antiquity to day and 600 available decor. Costumes of soldiers, Roman centurions, musketeers, monks, French Cancan dancers, Middle Ages dresses, Empire, or corbeille like those of Marie-Antoinette: everything is there. The visit ends with the permanent exhibition on the genesis of the theatre which also offers a beautiful collection of masks of the commedia dell'arte.
