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.

In the heart of the historic district of Mens, the Musée du Trièves recounts the rich history of the region and its inhabitants. From prehistory to the present day, permanent and temporary exhibitions present the sites of this remarkable rural heritage.
Located in the heart of the historic center of Mens, this museum traces the history of the people who have shaped the Trièves landscape. A genuine local museum, it gives pride of place to landscapes, early human occupation, rural heritage and village life, as well as to the artists who have spent time here (Jean Giono, Edith Berger, Emile Gilioli). Temporary exhibitions complete the discovery.

The Musée du Trièves, the former garrison of Lesdiguières soldiers during the Wars of Religion, located on the Place de la Halle (Monument Historique), traces the history of the places and men who have shaped the region...
