Go there and contact
The Hospice Saint-Roch Museum occupies the location of the former Hotel-Dieu founded in the XII century and rebuilds in the fifteenth century. This large and beautiful building comprises a chapel built at the end of the fifteenth century (beautiful Gothic tree), the rooms of the patients of the XII century and two wings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. On more than 2,000 m ², there are four themes: ancient sculpture, pharmacy, extra-European arts, and contemporary creation. You will be able to admire the sculptures and objects gallo-roman, gallo-roman and merovingian, the paintings of xvie in the eighteenth century, the Clavecin hall of Jean Denis with its paintings of masters and furniture of the seventeenth century, or the collection of African and Oceanian arts of missionaries of the Sacred Heart. The nineteenth century pharmacy is also admirable with botanical collections, laboratory, tin pichets, beard dishes, and other mortars of the fifteenth century. Since 1995, an extension has been home to temporary exhibitions devoted to artists of our century (Fred Deux and Cécile Reims in particular). Beautiful collection of contemporary art. A very rich eclectic museum.
