Intro
It houses a collection of more than 3,000 objects and is a true testimony to life in the 20th century before the construction of Grande Dixence.
The museum is housed in a building built in 1584 that used to house the former court of the Val d'Hérens. The exhibition retraces the local life of Hérémence by presenting objects related to daily life, trades and know-how of the region. A space is dedicated to agriculture, another to woodworking... Dishes and utensils used for the production of tommes restore life in the mayens, while a fully reconstructed alpine chalet describes the operations of milk transformation into butter, cheese and serac. You can also admire the clock mechanism of the old church, dating from the beginning of the 18th century. The name of each object is also indicated in patois. The museum of Hérémence is multi-sites. A traditional house composed of a room and a kitchen furnished in the old style, a restored mill, a bread oven, the miller's house, an old forge from 1711 and an imposing Roman press from 1555 are attached to the museum itself.
