Musee du Verre et du Vitrail, Gordes

3 parts: artist work, u either like it or not. History of stained glass, in French. & examples of how glass was important to science. To me that was the most interesting.

Wonderful experience at the Museum today helped greatly by the wonderful lady at reception.. so sorry we didn’t get her name but I know she loves Fermanagh!!!😉… She was soo helpful in every way and brilliant at her job … made the whole experience even more interesting and one must walk,, maybe drive in hindsight, to the monastery! St. Paul de Mausoleb..Superb overall experience and didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as we did … Wifey was in awe … Thanks again Miss Fermanagh 👍… outstanding in your field…cheers, David.

This museum could be really cool if it was better organized. No or few explanations on the exhibited works (mainly those of a local artist), nor on the collection of objects visible in the museum. Sometimes, even being in the business, you wonder what it's doing there... Good luck if you have no knowledge in the field! There isn't really a red thread, a vague explanation on the chemical composition of glass is present at the end of the museum, but if you don't already have a basics on the subject, good luck. No real presentation of the different kinds of stained glass (lead, Tiffany, glass slabs) and even less of their history strictly speaking. It's really a shame, as a stained glass artist I expected everything except to be disappointed after visiting this museum... person at the reception for information on each since nothing is explained about them.

Very cool. I had the privilege of having a guided tour all to myself. I only did the mill part because I arrived at the end of the morning. I think it's worth the detour. Next time I will come back to see the glass museum

A set of 3 museums. 1) The Glass and Stained Glass Museum is really surprising. The guided tour is very well done, well documented and explained. It is structured around 2 axes: the theme of glass and stained glass, on the one hand, the explanation of the works exhibited on the other. We discover the history of glass, the manufacturing processes and the use of glass in the composition of stained glass windows, the cutting, the tint, the different assembly methods. It is very interesting. The guide also provides valuable assistance in explaining and interpreting the works presented, created by Frédérique Duran, master glass artist, who is also the creator of the museums. 2) The visit does not stop there, since on leaving, you can stroll at leisure in the sculpture park, an outdoor sculpture trail. 3) The Moulin des Bouillons Museum. We discover the centerpiece, an oil press 10 meters long, classified as a historical monument (dating from the 16th century) The museum offers a guided tour, around the theme of olive oil, its history and its uses: cooking, lamp, care, soap.
