La Piscine, Art and Industry Museum in Roubaix, France.
The museum occupies a former Art Deco swimming pool building, featuring a central water basin surrounded by exhibition spaces and natural light from glass ceilings.
Architect Albert Baert designed the swimming pool between 1927 and 1932, which operated until 1985 before architect Jean-Paul Philippon transformed it into a museum.
The collection includes textiles from local manufacturers, decorative arts, sculptures, paintings, ceramics, and drawings dating from the 19th century to present day.
Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Thursday from 11:00 to 18:00, Friday from 11:00 to 20:00, and weekends from 13:00 to 18:00.
The original swimming pool basin remains at the center of the museum, reflecting natural light and creating water mirror effects for the surrounding sculptures.
