Musée de la Vie d'Avant

Immerse yourself in the history of the Franche-Comté region and discover what daily life was like between 1850 and 1930 at the Musée de la Vie d'Avant. Through immersive scenography, the museum presents authentic objects, outfits and reconstructions that tell the story of the daily lives of the people of the time.

Take a journey through a variety of scenes that combine old trades, farming, middle-class life and local traditions. Mannequins dressed in period costumes bring these reconstructions to life, offering a real window on the past and allowing you to feel the emotions and lifestyles of our forebears.

Located in Ornans, the museum offers a unique cultural and educational journey, ideal for young and old alike. For an enriched experience, guided tours are available for groups of 10 or more, booked by e-mail, including the "Curious walk in the time of your ancestors", which offers an in-depth look at the trades, customs and traditions of the Franche-Comté region.

It's a place where memory, heritage and emotion come together to help you better understand and appreciate the region's history.
