Musée Eugène Viala
Eugène Viala, poet, painter, watercolour artist of recognised talent, was born in Salles Curan in 1859.
Romantic and symbolist, he left after his death in Salles-Curan where he rests, a strong and rich work, impressive as much by its originality as by the quality of its manufacture. Precursor of the impressionist movement, he is also a great humanist and philosopher. Rich of the nature which he venerates, he expresses his native "Lévézou" with an unequalled passion to this day. Through his works, especially his etchings, he tells us his philosophy of being and his respect for life in all its forms. A statue in feet sculpted by the artist Marc Robert in 1957, inspired by a painting by the count Renaud de Vezins de Lévézou, his pupil, decorates the square which bears his name, near the town hall. His birth house is in the center of the village, rue "del Peyral"
