Musée Saint-Vic
About This Museum
People wander into the Musée Saint-Vic for all sorts of reasons—to escape the summer heat, to kill an hour, or perhaps to find a quiet moment. What they discover is a surprisingly rich tapestry of local life, a place that feels more like a thoughtful local's private collection than a formal institution. You'll find everything from Gallo-Roman pottery shards pulled from the nearby Cher River to rustic farming tools that tell the story of the Berry region. It’s this intimate and unpretentious journey through time that leaves the strongest impression.
Collection Highlights
The real stars are the medieval sculptures salvaged from old churches and a fascinating display of traditional Bonnetier stocking-maker looms, a nod to the town's industrial past. Don't miss the cabinet of curiosities filled with geological oddities and antique keys.
