Fine arts museum housed in a beautiful Art Deco building dating from the early century in Bagnères-de-Bigorre.

The Salies Museum was built in 1931 by Justin Daléas, a draper from Toulouse, who donated it to the city. It is housed in a beautiful building with an Art Deco façade from the early 20th century. Directly inspired by the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts held in Paris in 1925, the building was far from popular at its inauguration. It brings together under its roof two museum spaces: the Fine Arts Museum and the Museum of Daily Life in the Pyrenees.

The Fine Arts Museum: highlights the paintings of the Parisian salons of the first half of the 19th century, landscape paintings by Daubigny, Dupré or Jongkind, earthenware from the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as an orientalist room. A collection of 1,030 objects including Berber ornaments, paintings, pottery, musical instruments and furniture from North Africa are on display. The watercolors of Blanche Odin, the beloved child of Bagnères, are also exhibited in even-numbered years, and temporarily in the summer.

Museum of daily life in the Pyrenees : this exhibition place is dedicated to popular arts and life in the Haut-Adour. It gathers a rich collection of rural objects dating from the middle of the 19th century to the 1950s: weaving looms, textiles, flax or woolen cattails... Don't miss the burguet, a shelter which allowed the shepherd to sleep in the shelter of wolves, or this impressive tub dug in a trunk and used to wash the wool.

Magnifique musée, où l'on déambule entre les oeuvres de l'incroyable Blanche Odin et les collections de Jean-Louis Morelle, excellent accueil. Spécial coucou à Filou

Des aquarelles de grande qualité hélas mal mises en valeur. C'est pareil pour la partie orientaliste qui présente une accumulation d'objets. Il est temps de dépoussiérer ce musée ! Pourquoi ne pas proposer la visite du musée du rez de chaussée en même temps où au moins l'indiquer ?
