Musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Cognac

Atlantic Coast


In the southern corner of the grotto- and pond-clad Jardin Public, Cognac’s Art and History Museum showcases the town’s history. Its interior – magnificent 19th-century Hôtel Dupuy d’Angec (1837) – is as interesting as the paintings, sculptures and decorative arts on display.
