Musée de la mosaïque et des émaux de Briare, Industrial art museum in Briare, France.
The Museum of Enamels and Mosaics displays collections of buttons, beads, and mosaic artworks within the former residence of manufacturer Jean-Felix Bapterosses.
Established in 1994, the museum preserves the legacy of Briare Enamels Company, which began as a pottery factory competing with Gien in 1837.
The museum exhibits 19th-century mosaics by Eugene Grasset and contemporary optical illusion works by Victor Vasarely, demonstrating the evolution of enamel artistry.
Guided tours for groups of 20 or more persons require advance reservations, with multimedia guides available in multiple languages for family visits.
The museum houses a 19th-century furniture piece specifically designed to showcase the pearl and button collections from Briare's manufacturing heritage.
