The museum is open to the public.
You will be offered tours that will take you to meet the work of André Deslignères, including many prints and watercolours that were acquired by the museum in 2020. Around the question of the conditions of creation, we will try to approach what makes art and to understand its springs, between manufacturing techniques, intellectual influences and financial constraints.

Bound(Connected) to the history(story) of Nevers, big(great) pole(centre) faïencier for the XVIth century, its chief collection (big(great) ornamental dishes, tiles(window panes) of paving, bottles with decorations(sets), statues, decorative plates(patches) or atypical objects), is accompanied by a glass collection enamelled, unique(only) in France. Beyond works, the reopening of the museum invites in a rediscovery of this monument. Indeed, works allowed the rehabilitation of the old(former) medieval buildings(ships) of the abbey Notre-Dame, as well as of the Hotel Roussignol du XIXème century, supplemented by new constructions. The architectural choice(selection) to associate stone and wood, contemporary building(ship) and old(former) constructions, makes this museum one of the major architectural elements of the city of Nevers.
