Intro
It houses a collection of over 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 dating back to 1584, which used to house the former court of the Val d'Hérens. The exhibition retraces the local life of Hérémence, presenting objects linked to daily life, the trades and know-how of the region. One area is devoted to agriculture, another to woodworking... The crockery and utensils used to make tomme cheese recreate life in the mayens, while a fully reconstructed alpine chalet describes the operations involved in transforming milk into butter, cheese and serac. You can also admire the clock mechanism from the old church, dating from the early 18th c. The name of each object is also indicated in local dialect. The Hérémence museum is multi-sited. Attached to the museum itself are a traditional house with an old-fashioned bedroom and kitchen, a restored mill, a bread oven, the miller's house, an old forge dating from 1711 and an imposing Roman wine press dating from 1555.
