This is a really amazing space with a very interesting history (it was an old mine decommissioned in about 1950 odd). You can see that hopefully with time this outpost of the Louvre will help...

Enormous site with not a lot to actually see. The whole place is Very French - scrappy gardening, enormous use of taxpayers money, strict security guy, lots of staff, free entrance, not many visitors.... more

Loved this, a capsule collection almost - showcasing world history in an accessible way, with some English interpretation boards. Free entry for all and a lovely little gift shop. Outside there are further boards explaining the history of the site as a coal mine, with a view of the famous pyramids of coal waste. Inside there is also a model of the site as it was as an industrial coal mine.

Wonderful exhibition Champollion, well curated and really well explained. The modern architecture of the museum is stunning as well as the lovely park surrounding it. Lens is lucky to have this gorgeous museum

Small museum in the village of Lens in the north of France. Displays a number of items from the main Louvre in Paris. For school students and local residents a wonderful way to get ideas about who we are, where we come from, why we are who we are.

Very impressive museum with a stunning permanent collection presented in a very original way. The outside area and the building are very beautiful. We loved our visit!

A very interesting museum, the Galerie di Temps is amazing. Also check the temporary exhibition about Champollion if you are in the area in January or February 2023! Extraordinary artifacts from ancient Egypt!!
