Ursulines Museum
This old convent was built ca. 1675 for the education of young girls, the Ursulines, issued from the middle-class. After the French Revolution, it was successively used as a prison in 1793 (where Lamartine’s father was incarcerated), a military barrack (1796-1929) and as a “House of the People” before it became the Ursulines’ museum in 1968. The department of archaeology presents the excavations lead in our city from Prehistory to Gallo-roman and medieval periods. The first floor offers an overview of the life of Mâcon, the work in the vineyard, the activities linked to the river Saône and the local artists. Finally, the second floor’s rooms present a collection of the artistic creation of the late five centuries.
Openings : Every day from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to midday and from 2.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m.
