Musée du Papier, Paper museum in Angoulême, France
The museum occupies former paper mills constructed as a bridge building over the Charente River, connecting Rue de Bordeaux to Saint-Cybard Island.
The structure dates from the nineteenth century when it operated as Lacroix paper mills before becoming Joseph-Bardou Le Nil paper manufacturing facility until 1972.
