Émile Guillaumin Museum

The museum presents the life and work of the “peasant writer” as he called himself. Born in Ygrande (1873-1951), he was the first to describe and defend the cause of the peasantry through his writings. His work as a trade unionist, mutualist and agricultural journalist contributed to improving the living conditions of the people of the land. The museum offers a staging of the work of Emile Guillaumin and the daily life of the man who was also called “the Sage of Ygrande”. (Audio-visual room.
