Treasures of a Cluniac priory

The exhibition explores the various Romanesque, Gothic, and modern periods, using little-known works that are nevertheless listed as Historic Monuments. Among the works on display: the 12th-century Virgin in Majesty, the Romanesque enclosure, and a group of 15th-century statues, the crown jewel of which is the restored Saint Mary Magdalene.

This exhibition aims to present exceptional works, tell the story of the site from the 10th to the 19th centuries, and discuss its candidacy for UNESCO World Heritage status. An educational tour will be developed for family visits and schools.

Exhibition as part of Souvigny’s candidacy for UNESCO World Heritage status.
