Musée Gallé-Juillet de Creil

The Gallé-Juillet Museum encompasses two 19th-century houses built on the site of a medieval castle, showcasing local history through artifacts and decorative arts.

The museum opened in 1929 following a donation from Berthe Gallé, who dedicated it to preserve the memory of her son Maurice, lost during World War I.

The collections include 15,000 pieces of decorative arts, archaeology, and fine arts, with a particular focus on the industrial heritage of Creil's pottery production.

Visitors can explore 17 rooms across two buildings, including period-furnished spaces that display the lifestyle of a French family from the Revolution to World War I.

The museum houses the Ecluse Treasure, containing hundreds of silver and bronze coins that document the Gallo-Roman period of Creil's history.
