Musée de Pontarlier

Over het museum

The Musée de Pontarlier was founded in 1977. It occupies one of the oldest townhouses in the town, dating from the 15th century. The building retains a fine set of Art Nouveau stained-glass windows and painted beams with historiated motifs from the 17th century.

The museum is a municipal institution. It presents its collections over three levels. The route covers the history of Pontarlier and that of absinthe, which brought the town its fame in the Haut-Doubs region.

It also holds archaeological collections, from prehistory to the Middle Ages, as well as Franche-Comté paintings and faience. Temporary exhibitions on a variety of subjects are held regularly.

The museum also offers workshops for adults and children, lectures and themed events throughout the year. It welcomes groups, who receive a reduced rate from more than 10 people.
