museum / ecomuseum | HEREPIAN
Nestling in the heart of the Orb valley, Hérépian shelters the belle and sheep bell museum. The Museum, a vast vessel in raw concrete covered with a copper roof, presents, in a beautiful space of 1000m2, the various techniques of manufacture, as well as the uses and the sound environment of all the productions of the old foundry of bells, property of the Granier family since 1600: the copper cladded sheet sheep bells of the pastoral world, the little spherical bells and the cowbells in melted metal and finally the church bells.
A Museum where you can see, touch, handle, ring and hear!
Educational, playful, interactive, accessible to all (mental, visual, physical disabilities) at the same time, the museum of Hérépian is unique!
