On the far side of the river Maine, a ten-minute tram ride from the station, the Jean-Lurçat Museum welcomes you amid Jean Lurçat's tapestry Le Chant du Monde. This contemporary portrayal of the Book of Revelation is a national masterpiece. The finesse and elegance of the interior of Saint Jean Hospital contrast with its austere façade. The distinctive vaulting is what makes the ‘Plantagenet’ Angevin Gothic style truly exceptional. The cloisters date back to 1180, the chapel to the 13th century, and the south wing to the 16th century. A 17th- to 18-century apothecary features a remarkable set of pottery. This is a place that whisks you back in time – and that can accommodate very large groups. An in situ installation Plenty more fish in the sea, created by contemporary artist Claire Morgan and inspired by the tapestries, is also on display for you to see.
