Musée Bernard Palissy : Exposition hommage à Jean Jacquinot

The medieval hamlet of Saint-Avit in Lacapelle-Biron is home to the birthplace of Bernard Palissy, a Renaissance ceramist, scientist, and writer. The museum that bears his name features a permanent exhibition dedicated to the life and work of this humanist, whom the 19th century dubbed “the French Leonardo da Vinci.” To pay tribute to this pioneer, the museum presents an annual exhibition featuring renowned contemporary ceramic artists.
