Open to all free of charge from March to December, with the aim of making culture accessible to as many people as possible, the Musée Arts & Figures des Pyrénées centrales in Saint-Gaudens has fully redefined its identity in recent years. Completely renovated in 2018, it is located in the heart of the town of Saint-Gaudens, in a neo-classical building dating from 1875. The new, dynamic team has taken advantage of its streamlined, flexible spaces to frequently revamp the exhibition to surprise visitors. Saint-Gaudens, in the heart of the Central Pyrenees, is a town belonging to the ancient provinces of Comminges and Nébouzan. The town was built on a plateau overlooking the Garonne, which forms a major axis along which the textile industry and the porcelain and earthenware factory that operated in Saint-Gaudens in the 19th century developed. The museum holds the largest public collection of these works. André Rixens (1848-1925) is represented by a collection of paintings. Born in Saint-Gaudens and a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme, he was notably involved in decorating the Salle des Illustres at the Capitole in Toulouse. Alternately, personalities from the Central Pyrenees are honoured in a room dedicated to them.
