Located in the oldest house of La Mure, the museum explains the history of Matheysine and its inhabitants, through exhibition of objects, maquettes and pictures.
In the heart of the old town there is the Maison Caral, home to the Musée Matheysin since 1994. La Mure’s museum houses collections relating to the Matheysine plateau, and the nearby Beaumont and Valbonnais areas. Archeology (prehistory, Roman Gaul and medieval periods) and the Wars of Religion (the Siege of La Mure in 1580) give way to rooms devoted to anthracite mining, peasant life, glove-makers and itinerant peddlers. These used to be the trademark activities of this mid-Alpine region. The last few rooms feature sculptors and painters of the region in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2012 part of the museum has displayed the work of abstract painter Claude Garanjoud (1926-2005). Exhibits also include the exhibition dedicated to Olivier Messiaen, a summer visitor to the Matheysine for more than 50 years. And each season the museum offers a new temporary exhibition.

This museum is about the mining exploitation through the visit of the gallery, an exhibition and a film to tell you the story of miners.
The anthracite mines from La Motte d'Aveillans created under Napoleon I and closed in 1956 was resurrected in 1986 by the Association Sauvegarde et Mise en Valeur du Patrimoine Mottois.. Several galleries of mineral extraction has been re-worked and open to visit.
A guide leads you through authentic galleries where you will follown 2 centuries of mineral exploitation, technics, material from different periods e work conditions of "Gueules Noires" on the Plateau Matheysin where the exploitation was definitively closed in 1997.
The exhibtion room of the museum will permit you to discover the Lampistery, the hanged room, day works, social universe of the mines and daily stuff of miners but also some beautiful mineral in the famous "treasure room".

The Espace Giono is a place of remembrance for this writer, and an exhibition space for the works of Lalley painter Edith Berger.
A path invites you to discover the artistic universes of Edith Berger and Jean Giono through the landscapes of the Trièves.
The Espace Giono is located in the very place where Giono lived during his various vacations in Lalley. It is a place of memory, where literature and writing play an important role, evoking the Trièves of the land, its farmers and its landscapes, described by Giono in his work.

Works by local painter Edith Berger are also on display.

The Edith Berger-Jean Giono trail invites you to discover the artistic worlds of painter Edith Berger and writer Jean Giono in and around Lalley, through the landscapes of the Trièves.

8 panels, each presenting a work by Edith Berger, accompanied by texts by Jean Giono, are installed along the 4.5km trail. Access to the trail is free, and maps are available at the trailhead.

Echoing this is Lalley painter Edith Berger. Her oils and pastels take up the same themes dear to Giono's heart; her confident brushstrokes and palette of colors depict everyday life and the human and architectural heritage of Lalley and the surrounding area.

In addition to these permanent exhibitions, there is a space for temporary exhibitions, featuring paintings from here and elsewhere, figurative or contemporary, photos, sculptures and more, by artists from the Trièves.
