Lovers of flamboyant, conspicuous, beautiful, walleye, glory and opulence can only bow to the absolute masters of Baroque art: the Ferrère brothers. Well before the hour of bling-bling, these genius designers marked their abundant creative madness in the religious buildings of France and in particular the High Pyrenees since they originated in Asté. Logically, a museum pays tribute to this exceptional dynasty, which had a workshop from 1647 to 1800. From John's naive beginnings to Dominique's aerial elegance passing through Marc's very theatre, formed in Versailles, this encounter is simply fascinating. The party of Rome, the current is unavoidable and these sculptors, accompanied by carpenters and doctors, have marked history with a rare brio seen. The altarpieces are pure jewels, tabernacles, canopies and baptismal fonts are works that you will find difficult to detach you so much. Through the permanent exhibition, you will discover all the facets and we strongly advise you to take part in walks which will take you from village to village admiring these vestiges of a bygone glory.

Musée fermé par un beau samedi matin ensoleillé. Pas même d'heures d'ouverture affichées sur la porte. Dommage. On s'est rattrapés en visitant l'église juste à côté, qui offre un bel exemple de baroque Pyrénéen.

Ce lieu met en lumière la dynastie de la famille Ferrere sculpteurs de père en fils durant 150 ans. L'association "connaissance des Ferrere et du baroque pyrénéen " vous fait découvrir les trésors que ces sculpteurs nous ont légués dans les belles églises du Haut_ Adour, dans le département, et hors département . L'exposition permanente qui se trouve à la "Maison des Ferrere " nous renseigne sur le parcours de ces artistes , sur leurs œuvres. Elle présente un vif intérêt avec à l'appui de très belles photos de Cedric Not.
