Museum presenting a wide range of collections on prehistory, archaeology and the illustrious men of the Brive region...
Housed in a mansion built around 1540 by Jean de Calvimont, this museum is the finest example of Renaissance architecture in the Limousin. At the entrance, you'll find the base of Brive's 14th-century ramparts, demolished in 1765, and a beautiful paving stone. In 17 rooms, the museum presents various collections: prehistory, archaeology, history, illustrious men of the Brive region, fine arts, numismatics, popular arts and traditions in Corrèze (family life, urban and agricultural activities, crafts) and natural history. Fascinating.

C' est le plus bel édifice d'architecture civile d'époque Renaissance de la région , où il y a encore la base des remparts de Brive (XIVe siècle) . Composé de nombreuses salles, on peut y admirer des collections : préhistoire, archéologie, hommes illustres du Pays de Brive, et ce qui , moi , m'a le plus plu , les traditions populaires en Corrèze ....
