Cutlery Museum, Cutlery museum in Thiers, France.
The museum displays 700 knives and cutting tools across two historic buildings in the medieval center of Thiers, documenting the evolution of cutlery manufacturing.
The museum, established in 1982, inherited collections from the former Barante Museum which operated from 1924 to 1981, preserving centuries of local craftsmanship.
Professional cutlers demonstrate traditional knife-making techniques in the museum workshops, maintaining the manufacturing methods that made Thiers a center of cutlery production.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, with extended hours during July and August, offering guided tours in multiple languages.
Visitors can examine fine cutlery pieces crafted with mother-of-pearl, ivory, and gold, representing different manufacturing periods from the 16th century to modern times.
