Musée d'art et d'histoire Romain-Rolland
Musée d'art et d'histoire Romain-Rolland, Art and history museum in Clamecy, France.
Description
The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire Romain Rolland occupies the Hôtel de Bellegarde with exhibition spaces spread across both historic and modern wings of the building. The collection includes Italian Renaissance paintings, Gallo-Roman artifacts, and regional pieces spanning multiple periods.
History
The museum was founded in 1876 under the direction of Amédée Jullien and relocated to the Hôtel de Bellegarde in 1962. This move to a more prominent building allowed the institution to expand its display and public reach.
Culture
The museum displays a large collection of local faience pottery that reflects the region's long ceramic-making tradition. This craft heritage remains visible in how the town connects to its artisanal past.
Practical
Plan your visit carefully since the museum closes on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays from October through April. Checking opening hours ahead of time will help you make the most of your trip.
Did you know?
The museum features a dedicated section on timber floating, an industry that transported wood from the region to Paris from the 1600s onward. This trade was once the economic foundation of the town.
