Maison natale de Victor Hugo
140 Grande rue, 25000, Besancon France
Le 26 février 1802, la maison du 140 Grande rue à Besançon a vu naître un écrivain mondialement célèbre : Victor Hugo. A la différence des autres maisons où il vécut, la maison natale de Victor Hugo n'est ni un musée, ni un lieu de mémoire. Dans une scénographie contemporaine laissant une large place au multimédia, ce sont les combats de l'homme engagé qui sont présentés dans des espaces aux vocations différentes.

Musee des Beaux-Arts et d'Archeologie de Besancon
1 Place de la Revolution, 25000, Besancon France
What strikes above all on entering the museum is the singular architecture, amalgamation of a grain hall built in the 19th century and a structure in raw concrete like a "museum with unlimited growth", a concept invented by Le Corbusier. The two architectures interact, as do the archeology collections and the fine arts collections. Part of the French and international cultural landscape, the oldest public collection in France, founded in 1694, can be proud of the richness of its collections. In addition to the international reputation of its collection of graphic art (more than 8000 drawings), it has an important local, Mediterranean and Egyptian archaeological heritage, numerous sculptures, ceramics, pieces of goldsmithery and an exceptional collection of paintings. representative of the main currents in the history of Western art from the end of the 15th to the 20th century. Let yourself be surprised by the MBAA of Besançon, one of the most atypical museums in France.
