Europe's only museum dedicated to an architect, the Claude Nicolas Ledoux Museum focuses on the work of the creator of the Saline Royale.
Some sixty models provide a glimpse into the life of an architect of whom few buildings have survived, either because they were never built, or because they were destroyed by time and man.
The tour reveals a multi-faceted body of work (theaters, town houses, octroi buildings, etc.), which is also revealed in dream projects with a sometimes utopian feel (the ideal town of Chaux, a cemetery, a pleasure house, schools, prisons, industrial buildings, etc.).

Dans le cadre du projet 180° augmenté, découvrez le nouvel écran tactile multilingue dans le Musée Ledoux qui présente, à travers 3 parcours utilisateurs différents, l’œuvre construite et rêvée de l’architecte. Un parcours scientifique, élaboré avec le Labex « Les passés dans le présent » de l’Université Paris Nanterre, présente notamment les planches numérisées du traité L’architecture considérée sous le rapport de l’art, des mœurs et de la législation de Claude Nicolas Ledoux. Les amateurs d’architecture découvriront les modélisations 3D des monuments rêvés de l’architecte qui prendront vie sous leurs yeux et un parcours découverte permet au visiteur d’explorer les différentes facettes de Claude Nicolas Ledoux, architecte, philosophe et écrivain.
