At the heart of the city, this great institution dating from 1835, the museum of art and archeology of the Perigord, was the first museum established in the Dordogne.
With an inventory ot 33 500 items and a permanent exhibition space of 2000 square metres, it presents a selection of the most remarkable pieces.
It offers a tour of the arts from pre-history to the present day, and of local, European, African and Oceanic Origin. It is the only collection of its type in the Dordogne.
