Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne · Ain · Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
The "Life in Dombes 1900" museum occupies the Hôtel Dieu of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne and offers an immersion into daily life at the beginning of the 20th century in the Dombes region. It is accompanied by a second heritage site, the Old Hospital and Apothecary, allowing an exploration of pharmaceutical practice at the beginning of the 19th century. The museum's collections combine historical objects with their territorial contexts, inviting a sensory and educational experience. The site offers thematic activities aimed at schools, families and educational institutions. Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne manages these two spaces as places for the preservation and transmission of local heritage.
