Musée des arts et traditions populaires

About

The Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions is located in Wattrelos. It is located in an old picardian farmhouse dating from the late 19th century. It presents nearly 15,000 objects in the form of thematic saynetes.

In the old stables, the saynetes represent farm work and daily life as well as a room on textiles. A estaminet and a grocery store are reconstituted. The "Galerie des Métiers" is located in the old barn.

We discover the trades: customs, sabotage, butcher... A space is also dedicated to the brewery - especially at the GBM - and leisure activities such as music and old games. It is also possible to learn at the ballroom.

Finally, a room dedicated to ancient toys and a reconstructed classroom as it was around 1900.
