A few moments of the show «Les Tireuses de cometète», created in 1992 and taken over last year by the Atelier du Théâtre Populaire de Champagne. It features the workers of the hosiery, from 1900 to the present day, and is based on the testimonies of former crocheters and working workers as well as on documents found in the newspapers of time.

Musée de Vauluisant

Aube
Grand Est

The Hotel de Vauluisant presents the collections of Champagne art of the Renaissance, known as the Beau 16th century, as well as the collections of the hosiery. The Beautiful 16th century: Painted panels, statues and stained glass windows illustrate the subtle passage from the aesthetics of the Gothic to its apogee, to that, emerging and more precious of the Renaissance. The painting reflects the Italian and Nordic influences (Assumption of the Virgin, Saint Joseph’s Dream). In sculpture, all the trends of the century are represented: Master of Chaource, Jacques Juliot, Dominique Florentin and François Gentil. The stained glass window shines with its last lights with the works of Linard Gontier (didactic exhibition). La Bonneterie: Evocation of the most emblematic activity of Troyes, European city of knitwear. Ancestral know-how and textile creation. From the wooden looms to the sophisticated machines of the “Golden Age” of the 19th and 20th centuries. Knitted items: stockings, socks,
