Despiau-Wlérick Museum

Located in a stunning architectural setting, the Despiau-Wlérick museum to your left is truly exceptional, as it is the only cultural venue in France dedicated to figurative art. It’s an artistic style that captures objects and human forms in all their intricate detail. The museum opened its doors in 1968 and houses the works of local sculptors Charles Despiau and Robert Wlérick. Whether captured in bronze, wood, plaster, or marble, the female figure was always their muse and source of inspiration. Other than the 300 masterpieces on display, visitors will also find classical and modern works by independent artists, as well as twentieth-century figurative works. The museum is currently undergoing renovations until 2027, yet its temporary exhibitions and sculpture garden are open to the public.
