European museum of Blues

Beschrijving

The European Blues Museum, the only one of its kind in Europe, is a showcase for the Blues musical style. The permanent exhibition features an overview of the history of the Blues, tracing the major trends and their itineraries and the great creators of this music. A scenography presents a beautiful and important collection gathered since about thirty years (instruments, paintings, dedications, posters, photos...), according to a pre-established framework. The museum will be extended in 2023 to include new display cases, a French Blues Hall of Fame and a Blues documentation centre. The museum has won international acclaim and the support of Bluesmen from all over the world, especially the Americans, who were surprised to find such a museum in France.
