Created in 1866, labellized Museum of France in 2002, the Mandet museum is located in two former hotels,connected by a gallery used for temporary exhibitions. The first, the Dufraisse hotel was built in 1707 of a parisian architectural style .It presents collections of paintings and sculptures from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. In 2011, a new department devoted to Design and decorative contemporary arts was added on the ground floor of the east wing of the building. Thanks to this development, the yard and the entrance porch of the museum have regained their original forms of the eighteenth century, highlighted by the work of the contemporary artist Helene Mugot: "Pas-sage".
