    The Jean Lurçat Museum and contemporary tapestry collections are presented in two buildings. The Saint-Jean Hospital, a remarkable architectural ensemble from the 12th century, protects the Tenture of World Song by Jean Lurçat. A neighboring building presents the collections from the 1930s to contemporary approaches to textile production.

      A hanging composed of ten tapestries, Le Chant du Monde is considered the masterpiece of Jean Lurçat (1892-1966).
      Undertaken in 1957 in Aubusson, a town in the Creuse region renowned since the 16th century for the quality of the work of its horseshoe makers, the hanging is woven over approximately a decade, by three workshops (Tabard, Picaud and Goubely).
