Museum of tools and village life

Saint privat en pÉrigord

Created in 1982, the Museum of Tools and Village Life brings together a large number of objects illustrating life in the village, allowing old-timers to step back into the past and young people to discover a way of life very different from the one they know today.

Several sections of the museum present different activities: clog-maker, butcher, cooper, forge, school, etc. The upper room recreates a typical living room on a local farm.

Next door is the Musée du Patrimoine en Miniature, a museum displaying 1/100 scale models of castles and cathedrals. There is also an exhibition of butterflies.

Open in summer, Tuesday to Thursday mornings and Tuesday to Friday afternoons.

The rest of the year, open by appointment for groups.
