🎨 France Discovered a stunning museum!

Today, I'm here to plant a seed about a museum—La Piscine, located in Roubaix, France, which is not an exaggeration to call one of the most beautiful museums in France! Art Magazine has named it the best museum in France outside of Paris! 🏊‍♀️ La Piscine was originally a swimming pool, so the museum has a magical feel to it, with intricate mosaic tiles and bathing rooms bathed in the soft light cast by the sunburst-shaped stained glass! 📚 Fun Facts: La Piscine swimming pool was initially built between 1927 and 1932 by Lille architect Albert Baert. It stopped functioning as a pool in 1985 and was transformed into a museum by architect Jean-Paul Philippart, which opened in 2000. The museum's permanent collection dates back to 1835, gathering many textile samples from textile factories. By 1898, the collection was housed in the National School of Arts and Textile Industry, seen as a way to cultivate the taste of the town's workers, foremen, and manufacturers. To this end, the collection combined elements of literature, fine arts, science, and industrial products. 🚉 Transportation Guide: · By car 🚗: About 3 hours from Paris · Public transport: Take the train and get off at Lille-Flandres, then transfer to the metro. Get off at Gare Jean Lebas station on metro line 2, which is 500 meters away from the museum. #MustVisitPlace #OffTheBeatenPathTravel #WeekendGetaway #Museum #MuseumWorthVisiting #France #LifeInFrance
