The Morvan Ecomuseum
The Écomusée du Morvan is a network of 9 themed houses and 3 associated sites, federated by the Park. These museum spaces, which bear witness to the Morvan and its inhabitants, are also places of entertainment, welcome and life.
The men and women of the Morvan have always been on the move, travelling and welcoming visitors. Out of economic or political necessity, many have left and returned, taking their knowledge and practices with them, bringing back income, resources and new ideas to the region.
The Écomusée du Morvan takes you on a journey to the heart of these human stories, through 9 themed houses and 3 associated sites, to understand how the Morvan was built up through exchanges and migrations, but also to reflect on its future.
