Musée Fleury, Art museum in Lodève, France.
Description
Musée Fleury is housed in a 17th-century building in Lodève with 4,100 square meters of exhibition space dedicated to Earth Sciences and Archaeology. The collections display specimens and artifacts that span hundreds of millions of years of geological and human history.
History
The museum was established in 1987 and received the official 'musée de France' designation in 2003. This period marked when regional geological and archaeological collections were brought together in a single location.
Culture
The monumental staircase was created by sculptor Paul Dardé and remains one of the building's most striking features. This sculptural element shows how art and science were brought together in this space.
