Najac Museum : Le musée du Vieux Najac
Permanent display of tools, objects, archives and historical photos of Najac and its people. You'll be greeted by volunteers who bring the museum to life and accompany you on your visit.
Tools, materials, archives and photos all stemming from the donations of the najacois are presented in 3 rooms entirely renovated.
First of all we pay tribute to the people of Najac who have always had at heart to collect, to maintain and to valorize. I want as a proof the work :
- that André Bories had undertaken to list and explain the nicknames of Najac, "the famous escaïs";
- that Robert Murat had undertaken by listing objects and tools typically najacois and by seeking to develop them with the assistance of Raymond Lacoste and Jacques Richard
- that Jacques Mariette led during 30 years to preserve the historical traces;
- that Bernard Montarry had made by collecting the instruments of fishing or the music of Najac;
- that Marcel Gauchy had done by publishing " Najac 1000 years of History " and several other booklets;
- and that many others proud of their roots and their families have done.
Today we have a fund of archives, tools, instruments and objects which tell a certain idea of Najac.
