This museum is a gateway to the Jura and the history of the region. Sitting on the rampart of the old town, the building is part of an architectural ensemble from the 18th and 19th centuries. Jurassic, Monk's Head, End of the World... the exhibition uses clichés and symbols of the newest Swiss canton to shed light on the events that have marked the region and its inhabitants. In addition, there are temporary exhibitions which aim to highlight social issues.

L’histoire du dernier-né des cantons suisses
Le Musée jurassien a été fondé il y a plus d'un siècle par l'abbé Arthur Daucourt de Delémont. Cet historien désirait « fortifier et raviver l'amour du pays dans le cœur de ses enfants ». Devenue en 1981 le « Musée jurassien d'art et d'histoire », cette institution est gérée par une fondation. Agrandissement et rénovation du Musée en 1959 ; réaménagement complet et réouverture en 2011. Exposition permanente sur le dernier-né des cantons suisses, le canton du Jura, qui nous éclaire les événements et environnements qui ont marqué le Jura et ses habitants. Actuellement et jusqu’au 1er mars 2020, exposition temporaire sur Gustave Courbet qui nous invite à redécouvrir la nature et le sens du lien qui unit Gustave Courbet à son territoire d'origine.
