Housed in an exceptional setting that blends 17th-century classicism with the modernity of glass and steel architecture, the Musée de l'Ardenne reveals the history of a unique region on the edge of France, already open to neighboring Belgium. With its art, history, and archaeology collections, the Musée de l'Ardenne is an encyclopedia of the area.  

The Ardennes Museum is sure to offer a unique journey through time for young and old alike! A history where, since time immemorial, wood, slate, and iron have been exploited. A visit to the Ardennes Museum is essential to understanding the magnificent ducal square of Charleville and, more broadly, the founding and development of the ideal city envisioned by Charles de Gonzague, Duke of Nevers and Prince of Arches in the 17th century. Many artists from the Ardennes, such as Eugène Damas (1844-1899), also captured the beauty of the landscapes and the timeless rural life. Throughout the year, the Ardennes Museum also features a permanent puppet exhibition as well as temporary exhibitions.
