Visitor alert
The Musée Jean-Lurçat's former St Jean hospital site will be closed to the public from Wednesday March 4 to Thursday April 9 to accommodate the "Aubusson weaves Tolkien" exhibition. The first floor of the Musée de la Tapisserie Contemporaine will remain open, at half-price.
From 1 Jan 2026 to 9 Nov 2026

The museum's collections bring together works of textile art from the 1950s to the contemporary creations. Since 1967, the Hôpital Saint-Jean (12th Century) has housed the "Chant du Monde" by Jean Lurçat. This manifesto of a politically committed artist is a contemporary echo of the Apocalypse Tapestry the collection of 10 tapestries produces a symbolic and humanist vision of the 20th Century.
