The municipal museum is located in the heart of the town, in the former Town Hall.
This building, built on the southern rampart of the city, dominates the so-called Breche valley where flows, below, the Beuve. It is accessed from the square with arcades by crossing the Halle built in 1890, replacing the first market dating from 1485, by the architect Jean-Jacques Valleton. Located on the ground floor of the old town hall, it occupies the 4 rooms of the old prison, an area of about 120 m2.
The first room is largely occupied by a model representing the city around 1650\. It was made by four Bazadais between 1988 and 2002 according to the drawing of a Dutch traveler.
In the other rooms, one can discover prehistoric and Gallo-Roman remains, those of a treasure of the Middle Ages, objects of Sacred Art, the original painting of «Saint Louis doing alms» by Jacques Stella, as well as productions of the school of Zurbaran.
