Labeled Museum of France, this museum of fine arts and archeology offers a rich itinerary: revolutionary earthenware, contemporary ceramics and Italian majolica rub shoulders with pictorial works from the primitives of the 15th century to the avant-gardes of the 20th century. An entire wing of the museum is devoted to the archaeological collection (objects from the Bronze Age to Gallo-Roman antiquity).

With a long-standing focus on the contemporary through its temporary exhibitions, the museum also has an exceptional library (specializing in Art / Archaeology) open to the public.

Exposition Ascendance - Carte Blanche à Marlène Mocquet

Musée Joseph Déchelette

Marlène Mocquet was invited to discover the Déchelette museum in Spring 2021. Seduced by the immense variety of generalist collections developed over more than two centuries, the idea of ​​carrying out a specific production, based on the wealth of works discovered in storage, has quickly sprouted. The exhibition will take place on the entire 1st floor of the 18th century mansion which will be re-invented by the artist, recognized for taking possession of the places she invests. Carte blanche is given to Marlène Mocquet for this exhibition, fully participating in the museum's reinvention project.
