History of the gem-cutting trade up to the present day. How these stones are used to create jewellery. Movie, stones and gems collection.
For people from the Haut Jura region, the word ‘lapidary’ is still very familiar, but this is not the case for most people. Do you know what a lapidary is? The answer is at the museum, where you can learn all about the origins of this profession and, more generally, the wonderful world of gemstones. There's a wonderful exhibition of rough and cut stones from all over the world, as well as a selection of period tools. A video explains the different stages of stone-cutting and the origins of this unusual craft.
