Let’s go to the Cutlery Making Museum
Situated at the heart of the world’s knife capital city, this museum has entertained visitors from all over the world for many years.
In the next few months, the facility will focus on passing on the ancient art of cutlery making and will show how generations of Thiers cutlery makers have perpetuated their tradition and love of forged blades.
The « Transmission » exhibition is open from June 8th 2017 to September 17th 2017. Its programme announces ‘Passing on gestures, knives from fathers to sons, perpetuating a company’.
Enjoy learning at the Thiers Museum.
Thier’s cutlery museum is a place where everybody, the young or less young alike can learn and have fun.
In this great museum, you can both visit rooms tracing the history of knives across the ages, but also discover cutlery making in a more interactive way.
