In the heart of the old town of Porrentruy, the Hôtel-Dieu Museum is located in a splendid 18th century historical building, the old hospital, built in 1765. Founded in 1949 with the aim of safeguarding the artistic and historical heritage of the Jura, this cantonal museum is listed in the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National Importance. The permanent exhibition includes the former hospital pharmacy, Gothic and Baroque goldsmith's objects, a cabinet of prints from the former bishopric of Basel, a room dedicated to watchmaking, a watchmaker's and stonecutter's tool workshop, photographic collections, as well as books, coins and other manuscripts relating to the stay of the Prince-Bishops of Basel in Porrentruy. Each year, two to three temporary exhibitions explore various themes related to Jura society, history and art.
