Thursday, September 15 and Friday, September 16, accompanied by the mediator of the museum, you will discover Gannat in the Middle Ages or in the contemporary era.
The goal is to make children aware that traces of the past remain around us and that it is interesting to look up to discover them. Walks in the city or countryside can then become treasure hunts or a time machine. The architectural heritage is witness to the different eras of the past and in Gannat, we have enough to open our eyes. The conclusion of each visit will be to encourage children to observe what is around them and to show them that it is important to preserve the heritage in order to remember our common history for a long time to come. The duty to remember will be particularly evoked among the greatest.

The museum, housed in the castle-fortress of the lords of Bourbon transformed into a prison, offers visitors a journey into Gannatoise history: skeleton of the fossil rhinoceros of 23 million years, God with gallo-Roman, religious arts including an evangeliary of the ninth century, various representations of life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: rural and bourgeois interior, saddlery, sandstone art Méténier, horse-drawn vehicles and automobiles, the resistance to Gannat during the Second World War including the photography background of Gabriel Séruzier. L'Évangéliaire carolingien, a manuscript book on parchment, the most prestigious piece in the museum, can be read on a touchscreen cabinet.
