The Musée Le Grand Lens was inaugurated in 1992. Refurbished, it reopened its doors in 2013. Housed in a former dwelling built in 1889, the Museum is the memory of an entire region.
Visitors discover the objects and figures that have shaped the history of the Lensarde region, both large and small. Testimonies from local residents will take them into the intimacy of the village's shoemakers and craftsmen. He'll meet the 17th- and 18th-century bourgeoisie who settled in an essentially peasant village. The writer Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz and the painter Albert Muret, each in their own way, will recount the joys of staying in Lens's exceptional setting. And let's not forget the history of the region, whose oldest artefacts date back to the 1st millennium BC.
Tours of the built heritage and "In the footsteps of Muret" are available on request.
