Gold in your hands

Promoting our crafts

Both craftsmen and artists, the creators of art are first and foremost the result of an encounter between material and artistic vision. Magnificent creations are born from their expert hands. Aware of the richness of our region and the fascinating professionals who make it up, we’ve decided to put the spotlight on our local artisans. It’s a great way to showcase our know-how and get the word out.

A museum in a factory

To preserve the industrial heritage and know-how that made up the heyday of our region’s economy, the Musée du textile et du peigne en corne de Lavelanet (Lavelanet Textile and Horn Comb Museum) has chosen to bring them back to life in their original context.
