Jean-Francois Scalbert - Kinetic Art

Scalbert uses both variants, but prefers real movement. Against often abstract backgrounds, sometimes evoking the dancing signs of Paul Klee, more often an uncertain universe of materialists, he inserts ingenious small mechanical elements: rods, pulleys, a bicycle chain, gears of all types, even including the same square wheel dear to the watches of Maurice Lacroix. A piece of broomstick crosses a canvas, another gives the impression of small rollers painting there and then glistening colours on its surface, elsewhere the movement of vertical wooden rods reveal the face of Serge Gainsbourg. The melancholy atmosphere of a small charcoal painting is suddenly illuminated by the windows of skyscrapers being touched by a shimmering moon that a hypothetical haze masks temporarily. So many scenes that provoke emotion, that are set in motion and produce sound when the visitor passes, thanks to proximity sensors integrated in the mechanism.

Musee Petiet

The Musee Petiet in Limoux is a Fine Art museum and an approved Musée de France. Its collections are largely made up state owned works from the Musée d'Orsay and Musée national d'art moderne - Centre Georges Pompidou - and the Musée du Louvre. Three collections owned by the tow include the work of three remarable local artists : - Marie Petiet, founder with her father of the museum that bears their name, - Etienne Dujardin-Beaumetz husband of Marie and politician - Achille Laugé internationally recognized divisionist painter.

Reviewed By DrSegal - Barnsley, United Kingdom

This lovely little gallery was a wonderful surprise. It holds a number of paintings of the French painter Marie Petiet together with some remarkable examples of a variety of 19th century French artists. Petiet (who exhibited under her married name as Marie Dujardin-Beaumetz) was a revelation to me. I would absolutely recommend a visit. In August 2020 we were only charged 3 euros each. There are only a few rooms but some of them are jam packed with paintings (and a few sculptures). I suggest you would need an hour for a visit but the pieces justify a longer visit. They have a couple of tiny desks with coloured felt tips for children.

Amphoralis

Le musée surplombe les fouilles archéologiques d'un atelier de potiers gallo-romains, actif depuis les années 20/30 avant J-C jusqu'au IIIe siècle, et mis au jour à partir de 1976. Le visiteur découvre l'activité et la vie quotidienne de ces potiers qui produisaient en masse des amphores pour le transport du vin mais aussi différents matériaux de construction (briques, tuiles) et de la vaisselle du quotidien. Après la visite du musée, un parcours extérieur mène aux reconstitutions de fours et d'un habitat, bâtiments construits à l'identique et de manière artisanale par l’équipe du musée. Centre d'expérimentation archéologique autant que lieu de découverte et d'animations pour le public, Amphoralis vous accueille pour un parcours original, au cœur de ce quartier artisanal et d'habitations. Amphoralis vous propose : - des animations toute l’année (visites, ateliers en famille, stages poterie…), - de nombreux outils multimédias : application de visite téléchargeable gratuitement sur vot

Musee des Dinosaures 'Dinosauria'

Reviewed By Albywon - Sydney, Australia

To say that this museum punches above its weight would be the understatement of the year. M modest start looking at the fossils & rocks uncovered in the local area blossoms into full size exhibits that will delight Child and Adult alike. The modest entry fee it worth it many times over. A strong attraction for both Esperaza and the wider area.
