Église Saint-Hugues-de-Chartreuse, Mountain church and art museum in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, France.
The medieval church structure contains 111 stained glass windows and numerous paintings that transform its interior into an extensive art exhibition space.
In 1952, the young artist Arcabas approached the parish priest with an offer to decorate the church at no cost, initiating a 35-year artistic project.
The church exhibits showcase multiple artistic techniques, from traditional religious paintings to modern interpretations through stained glass and sculptures.
The church museum remains accessible throughout the year, with free self-guided visits and guided tours available for a fee.
Each section of the church presents different phases of Arcabas's artistic development, creating a chronological journey through his creative evolution.
