But what can we talk about in a museum in Cluses? But of course, of course! And watchmaking! And…. we won't tell you more... we'll let Emilie, Mathilde & Claire (they do it much better than us!) tell you the fascinating story of these activities that have shaped the Arve valley as we know it today today.
Go for the exciting and inspiring guided tour!
We see you from here, reluctant to pick up your phone to register for the next guided tour of the museum. You certainly have in mind the guided tour you took of the adjustable wrench museum, in the CE1 class of your school in Trifouilly-les-Oies, and frankly, it was not “the blast”!
Well, think again, because Emilie, Mathilde & Virginie, the mediators of the museum, do their utmost to share with you their passion for the evolution of time measurement over the centuries and the history of the industry. local specializing in small precision mechanics ...
Being guided through the museum also means opening up to the centuries of history of the Arve valley, its development and current challenges.
Artistic, scientific or historical sensitivity? The museum has something to satisfy you!
We all have our little inclinations, areas that speak to us more than others (and yes, which has never been lost in front of a work of art, a mathematical problem or a list of dates to be learned by heart!).
What we like about the museum is that the visit is varied and punctuated by the different themes covered: the quest for precision, the start-up of an old bar turning workshop from the 1930s or even history. of the old school of watchmaking of Cluses in turn royal, imperial then national.
Just that… and always with humor, please! Mediators love to share their little watchmaking secrets and the anecdotes that have shaped the history of time measurement.
Museum for everyone (and everyone for the museum!)
