We popped in here whilst walking around Limoges. It’s a beautiful building- very peaceful. The stained glass windows are stunning as is the building itself both inside and out - would highly recommend

Musee National Adrien Dubouche

In its fully renovated setting, the Adrien Dubouché National Museum holds the largest collection of Limoges porcelain in the world. It also contains representative works from the key stages in the history of ceramics. The museum route follows a journey through time that starts in Antiquity and crosses continents and civilisations, leading visitors towards the most recent designs. Everyone can marvel at the virtuosity of the masterpieces on display in an area dedicated to manufacturing techniques. The Adrien Dubouché National Museum and its prestigious collections thus contribute to the international reputation of ceramic arts and the promotion of the exceptional know-how that has made Limoges so famous.

During our time in France, we visited the Musee National Adrien Duboche which is the national porcelain museum several times. The porcelain art on display is truly world-class and worth the visit or several visits. Additionally, their educational exhibits are outstanding showing the porcelain process and the history of porcelain from ancient middle-eastern and Japanese displays to completely modern exhibits. Quite honestly, I knew literally nothing about porcelain but was absolutely amazed and entranced by the art and the exhibits. I cannot encourage you enough to visit the museum it's well worth the trip. As I said, we went several times and enjoyed every visit and always found something additional to catch the eye. DO GO AND ENJOY, YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

Gare de Limoges

From the slightly phallic clock tower to the church like dome an extraordinary building well worth a visit. In addition you can take a train! Among the great architectural railway stations of Europe - Milan, St Pancras and Limoges.

Espace Rebeyrolle

Reviewed By Inspiration800716

Espace Rebeyrolle is a contemporary structure in a medieval village....That in itself is worth a visit. The museum represents and pays homage to an Eymoutiers famous son and acclaimed artist...Paul Rebeyrolle! The canvasses and the sculptures are grand in scale. The angst and turmoil of the later 1900's is well-represented!! Well worth a visit.
