Musee de la Visitation, Moulins

Small, extremely rich museum whose dyes, paintings, sculpture, liturgical vestments, sacred objects... come from the convents of the Visitandine sisters, some of which had been very richly adorned by the dowries of young noble girls. Fascinating and passionate guide. The collections are housed in a very pretty private mansion.

A museum like you rarely see: the museum is fascinating and the guide is passionate. We discovered the existence of the visitandines, who are extremely skilled with their hands and above all patient, because embroidering a chasuble takes a lifetime, whereas it will only be worn once on a great occasion! They have made over the centuries chasubles embroidered with fine gold, reliquaries, objects with scraps of paper. One of the very best museums in Moulins! Not to be missed during a visit to Moulins!
