An ancient heritage to be preserved

Rich in its remarkable historical collections, this former Hôtel-Dieu features important archaeological remains, a 17th-century apothecary, and a chapel unique in Europe adorned with two magnificent Jessé Trees.

Contemporary art to be honoured

The museum also has equally spectacular modern and contemporary collections, organized around artists Cécile Reims & Fred Deux and Leonor Fini. Contemporary art is honoured every day thanks to the various temporary exhibitions that follow one another throughout the year. Finally, a park of sculptures offers an artistic and sensory walk along the river and presents the creations of twenty artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
