Trièves Museum
Description
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...
