Musée pyrénéen de Lourdes, Mountain culture museum in Lourdes, France
The Musée Pyrénéen occupies a medieval fortress on a hilltop, displaying artifacts from both French and Spanish Pyrenean cultures across multiple exhibition spaces.
Established in 1921 by Louis and Margalide Le Bondidier within the ancient castle of Lourdes, the museum received official Musée de France status in 2002.
The museum exhibits regional costumes, traditional furniture, farming implements, and an extensive collection of 18th-century Samadet ceramics representing Pyrenean heritage.
The museum opens daily from April to October between 10 AM and 7 PM, with reduced hours during winter and special rates for families and groups.
The outdoor circuit features a botanical garden with scale models of traditional Pyrenean buildings and sculptures integrated into the castle grounds.
