A shared will
In 1998, Saint-Amand-Montrond organized the first biennial arts and crafts event. In 2000, the City of Gold was inaugurated, the heart of development for the jewelry industry. In 2010, it is the label Pôle d'excellence des Métiers d'Art.
And many actors shared this creative will, the city, of course, but also the chamber of trades, the chamber of commerce, the development agency of Cher, the French union of jewelry, the association of cities and art trades, the society of encouragement to art trades, etc.
A very unusual building!
This glass and steel pyramid rises towards the sky of Berry!
It is up to you to go through the patio for a little coffee break and the visit of a store, the terrace, the theater, the exhibition room of the glass roof, and then, of course, the house of gold, museums and animations, and the workshops of craftsmen that you will visit by appointment.
The museum occupies 800 m². After discovering the place of gold in the world, you will enter a mine, and models will allow you to understand and compare the two techniques of discovery of gold, mining, and gold panning. You will also discover a beautiful collection of tools used in the jewelry workshops, and then, of course, the results obtained in the form of jewelry, among others.
