The George Sand and Black Valley museum

The George Sand and the Black Valley Museum is entering a new chapter in its history. After being installed in the keep of La Châtre, it was written in a new format and in a new place, the Hôtel de Villaines, for several years. You will discover part of the museum's collections there while waiting for its reopening in the years to come. This small-sized museum presents a permanent tour of George Sand and the Black Valley, temporary exhibitions and cultural activities aimed at all audiences. Temporary place, experimental laboratory, transition space while waiting for the opening of a future museum. This new museographic space, located in an 18th century mansion in the heart of the city, is made up of several spaces: a reception / shop space giving pride of place to craftsmen with a room presenting a summary of the reference course of the Museum ; a room for "pocket exhibitions" (3 exhibitions per year); a room for annual exhibitions.
