Micro-Folie La Souterraine
About This Museum
Tucked away in the unassuming town of La Souterraine, the Micro-Folie is a delightful surprise, a digital art sanctuary housed within the historic Chapelle du Sauveur. It feels less like a traditional museum and more like stepping into a secret cabinet of wonders, where centuries of masterpieces are just a tap away. The space hums with a quiet, modern energy, a stark yet harmonious contrast to its ancient stone walls. You can spend an afternoon wandering from a Van Gogh self-portrait to a Chinese ceramic vase without ever leaving your chair.
Collection Highlights
Its heart is the 'Digital Museum,' a vast, navigable archive featuring high-resolution works from French national institutions like the Centre Pompidou and the Louvre. One moment you're face-to-face with the intense gaze of Frida Kahlo, the next you're analyzing the brushstrokes of Monet's Water Lilies on a massive screen.
Visitor Information
It's free to enter, making it an incredibly accessible cultural spot. Find it at the Chapelle du Sauveur on Rue de Lavaud; it's the kind of place where you can pop in for twenty minutes or lose track of an entire afternoon.
Architecture & Building
The museum occupies a beautifully repurposed medieval chapel, so you're surrounded by rustic stonework, vaulted ceilings, and the serene, lofty atmosphere of sacred history.
