This fine museum at the heart of Nevers celebrates the rich social history of the town. Within the exhibition are some of the best collections of earthenware that have been assembled in France. The majority of the work locally made, there are many pieces of exceptional ceramics dating from the 16th and 17th Century as well as some more modern pieces. The facility is also well known for having a large collection of spun glass on display, a technique that is dying out, but has been preserved here in some of its finest forms.
