A museum featuring a collection of over 8,000 works of art and objects that bear witness to the city's history.
Touraine's finest museum. Housed in the site of the 1428 Estates General, it presents a collection of art and history, highlighted by annual temporary exhibitions. Two major pieces stand out: the "St. Mexme" cope, the largest 12th-century fabric preserved in Europe, and Eugène Delacroix's portrait of Rabelais. Temporary exhibitions, conferences, workshops and national events punctuate the seasons at Le Carroi.

Franchement, marque ouvert sur internet, confirmation par le personnel de la forteresse et nous nous sommes casses le nez.....il faudrait peut être mettre à jour tout cela.

Très bon musée, taille raisonnable, personne à l’accueil. Permet de voir Chinon sous un autre angle. De plus visite le premier dimanche du mois gratuite.

Musée à taille humaine, la présentation des pièces exposées est classique et judicieuse. L'accueil est chaleureux, le jour de mon passage, il y avait des animations gérées par des archéologues. La visite est confortable, on peut tout voir en 1h 30mn, la signalétique est pertinente. On échappe aux écrans si fréquents aujourd'hui dans les musées, certains peuvent le regretter. Personnellement, j'ai aimé les éclairages et la mise en valeur des objets exposés, que l'on approche sans filtres numériques.

A historic house that hosted the General states in 1428, located at the foot of the royal fortress and now transformed into a pleasant museum
