Musée Médiéval de Vagnas “The time of Vagnas
Presentation
Discover an exceptional collection of medieval liturgical furnishings! These rare pieces are the result of 17 years of excavations at the Saint-Pierre Priory (Le Monastier). A one-of-a-kind exhibition to explore inside our thermally insulated building.
In the outdoor patio, panels present the remarkable points of the village and the territory of Vagnas, Prehistory, the Battle of Vagnas, the family of Lacroix de Vagnas de Castries, the silk epic and the Vagnas mine. A garden of simples, medicinal plants cultivated in the Middle Ages by the monks is grown in tubs. Protected by a shelter, a “jardinière”, an emblematic vehicle of the region at the beginning of the last century. The medieval furniture is for its part exhibited inside the building. The entire lapidary collection exhibited is registered as a Historic Monument.
