Musée des machines à nourrir et courir le monde
Clairvaux-les-Lacs · Jura · Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
The Museum of Machines to Feed and Run the World is located in Clairvaux-les-Lacs, in the Jura. It occupies 1000 m² of climate-controlled spaces and presents around a hundred wooden models handcrafted by Marcel Yerly, with dimensions ranging from 50 centimeters to 3 meters. The museum also displays over a hundred paintings by the same artist, as well as scale models of legendary aircraft and ships, the works of two of France's finest craftsmen, and a model of a Jura sawmill. The collections bear witness to the craftsmanship and technical precision applied to the reduction of historical machines.
