THE OCHRE MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Immerse yourself in the history of ochre and local heritage through a museum, and enjoy the works in the exhibition gallery.
Inaugurated in 1994, this museum tells the story of ochre extraction in Saint-Georges-sur-la-Prée, a skill that has been rooted in the region since the Middle Ages. Models, drawings and archival documents plunge visitors into the past. A store lets visitors explore the pigments and tools used in this craft. The museum also evokes local memory, with ancient agricultural objects and a faithfully reconstructed bedroom. Last but not least, the unique collection of 5,124 sand tubes from around the world offers a true visual escapade.
