  • English
    • The Cognac Art and History Museum, located in the former Maison du Négociant, is an emblematic place that immerses visitors in the city's rich past.

      This museum, which was originally the home of a brandy merchant, presents a collection of varied objects, ranging from local crafts to fine arts, including archaeological and ethnographic pieces. The permanent exhibition is housed in the merchant's former residence, whose architecture itself, with its period decorations and furniture, offers a glimpse into the daily life and splendor of the Cognac bourgeoisie in the 19th century.

      The museum tour highlights the history of the town, from the Gallo-Roman period to the golden age of the cognac trade, without forgetting local traditions and trades.

      The Maison du Négociant is a perfect place to discover how the cognac trade shaped the city's identity and enabled the development of a unique culture and lifestyle. The museum also offers temporary exhibitions and cultural activities throughout the year.
