The Laguiole knife museum

Once Man mastered fire.
Then, he discovered iron.
This magic of material conversion gave birth to the fruits of men's imagination.
The Museum takes you to a trip through a prestigious exhibition of thousands of rare objects. Wether utilitarian, rudimentary, sophisticated, signs of artistic expression or toil companions, those objects are the witnesses of men's inventiveness throughout centuries.

The Museum visit

• In our Museum you will find :
• An important panoramic wall composed of didactic boards exposing the origin and evolution of the Laguiole knife.
