Musée Hèbre de Saint-Clément

The Musée Hèbre de Saint-Clément is a museum in Rochefort displaying artworks, paintings, and objects gathered from scientific expeditions. The collections come from the South Pacific, China, and other regions and spread across multiple floors of the building.

The building was constructed in 1758 as a hotel and later served as a municipal library before becoming a museum in 2002. This long history shows how the building adapted to serve different purposes over centuries.

The museum holds art and objects that reveal how people lived in the South Pacific and China. The collection lets visitors experience past ways of life and artistic traditions from these regions directly.

The museum building has four stories with a reception area, exhibition spaces, and different themed sections. Visitors can explore the spaces at their own pace and find different types of objects on each level.

A three-dimensional model of Rochefort was created in 1835 by engineer Touboulic and shows how the city looked at that time. The model is a rare object that lets visitors see the historical development of the city in a special way.
