Origin and history

The Musée de Millau et des Grands Causses is a cultural monument located in the city of Millau in the Occitan region. Although its exact period of creation is not specified in the available sources, it is a place of conservation and dissemination of the natural, historical and ethnographic heritage of the Grand Causses, a territory marked by its karst landscapes and rural history. Local museums like Millau often play a central role in preserving collective memory and traditional know-how.

In a region such as Occitanie, where the economy has long been based on agriculture, livestock and handicrafts (including the glovery for Millau), these institutions allow to pass on to future generations the cultural and environmental specificities that have shaped the identity of the territory.
