Musée Pierre Noël

Discover the seven permanent collections of the museum, labeled "Musée de France", the heritage, artistic and natural wealth of the area. Built in 1977 alongside the cathedral complex, the Pierre-Noël Museum welcomes you on three exhibition levels. A recently renovated wing gives way to new, airy and luminous spaces that give pride of place to the post-war years with a focus on the work of Le Corbusier, who left his mark on the city's architecture. Also to be discovered: the Claire and Yvan Goll collection, figures of surrealism, as well as the abstraction of the 1950s through the works of Zao Wou-ki, Jean Bazaine, Alfred Manessier, Fernand Léger, Pierre Didier.. The other areas of the museum will take you on a journey from archaeology to natural history, including militaria and popular traditions. Relive the great periods of Deodatian life, through its famous characters such as Jules Ferry.
Temporary exhibitions and annual highlights complete the museum's cultural offer, to give you an ever more curious, sensitive and emancipated view. Through the various supports being developed within the mediation service, the museum wishes to give schoolchildren, reception structures, associations and individual visitors the knowledge of a heritage and the attraction of the various art forms. Visits, practical workshops, game booklets and participatory systems are designed with an open-minded approach, so that each visitor can approach the works in a simple and playful way, develop his or her vision and engage in his or her own discourse.
