Musée des Traditions Populaires, Local traditions museum in Olonne-sur-Mer, France.
The museum contains six exhibition rooms dedicated to daily life in the Olonne region during the early 20th century, displaying authentic artifacts.
The museum opened in 1991 in a former school building from 1891, following the creation of the Mémoire des Olonnes association in 1988.
The exhibitions showcase traditional professions through displays of salt workers, winegrowers, farmers' tools, and a reconstructed classroom setting.
The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM in summer, charging 5€ for adults and 2.50€ for children.
Volunteers organize traditional wedding reenactments and demonstrate historical craft techniques during heritage day celebrations throughout the year.
