Museum tour
The castle, municipal museum, Yves Machelon is a former castle of the Sires de Bourbons, transformed into a prison until 1967. It was on this date that the commune, under the Municipality of Yves Machelon, bought the buildings that it then transformed into a place of discovery of the Gannatois heritage. The collections of the municipal museum are numerous. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the invaluable Carolingian Evangelical. The Evangelical contains the texts of the four gospels and is kept in a glass cage, protected from manipulation. It was digitized in 2007, to allow everyone to consult it on an interactive kiosk.
Beyond this cultural treasure, the museum has many other objects in its collections: documents dating from the Gannatoise resistance, old vehicles, Art Deco objects, religious works of art, crafts and popular traditions…
