Residential school, nursing home, military hospital then high place of neurosurgery in Auvergne, Fontmaure is today a space dedicated to Culture that makes a new face with a new name the FAC.
L'Espace muséal Within this new space, the public can discover or rediscover both this emblematic place of the city and the magnificent collection it houses.
