What do you know about the Saint-Louis crystal?
Discover for free the 2000 pieces of collection of the museum, all from the workshops of the Manufacture Saint-Louis.
Located in the heart of the working glass hall, the Saint-Louis museum traces more than 400 years of history and innovations of the manufacture, a story combining heritage and contemporary creation.
Imagined by the Lipsky+Rollet agency (Silver Square 2005), this bold architectural design proposes a course winding progressively on three levels and resting on the foundations of an extraordinary central well, remains of a former furnace of the 19th century fusion furnace, testifying to the ancestral play of fire and earth.
Sublimated by several chandeliers, the star of this atrium is a giant of crystal: 120 lights, 1780 crystal pieces, a unique work created especially for the museum.
This architectural setting houses the museum’s permanent collection of more than 2,000 exceptional objects from the manufacture’s heritage collections. With an astonishing delicacy, these true masterpieces, are organized through a chronological journey and about twenty categories classified by manufacturing technique, punctuated with videos illustrating the ancestral gestures of the master glassmakers of Saint-Louis.
