Musée des tourneurs sur bois
Aiguines · Var · Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur
The Museum of Wood Turners is located in Aiguines, in Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, in the Verdon Gorges. Labeled "Musée de France" since 2003, it documents a craft tradition attested since the late 16th century, a period when the village distinguished itself through the manufacture of studded balls exported throughout France. The museum's collections bring together testimonies of the historical expertise of wood turning and contemporary creations, illustrating the transformation of the craftsman's trade into art. The museum in a rural setting thus combines yesterday's heritage with the current developments in artistic creation by wood turners.
