Musée de la Coutellerie

The museum and its manufacturing workshops retrace the memory of 6 centuries of cutlery heritage. Magnificent collection of knives from the XNUMXth century to the present day. During the visit: workshops, demonstration, sound and light show, shop.

At the Cutlery Museum in Thiers, six centuries of world-renowned heritage are to be contemplated. The rich collection presents works from French and foreign cutler centers, from the XNUMXth century to the present day. An invitation to discover the evolution of the knife object, the elegance of tableware, the modernization of lines and manufacturing techniques. But also a unique opportunity to marvel at pieces of fine cutlery, all in mother-of-pearl, ivory and gold.

In the museum's workshops, the knife makers who are ambassadors of the know-how present you with the emblematic stages of making a knife. Before your eyes, they produce the high-end knives or art knives sold in the museum shop.

Foulon Alain

Good morning. Reservation for the cutlery museum on Tuesday May 07, 2024 at 14 p.m. for a group of 54 walkers plus the bus driver. The announced price was €4 per person. Are there any freebies? Thank you for your reply. Alain Foulon for Mont Marche Tournai Belgium
