Musée du désert

Acerca de nosotros

The Desert, a strange name for a museum! You will know the meaning by visiting this unique place in the Cevennes. More than 3000 rare objects, weapons, maps, paintings and books are exposed, witnesses of the resistance of the Protestants during the War of the Camisards.

Located in the heart of a Cévennes hamlet, in the house where the Camisard leader Pierre Laporte, known as Rolland, was born, the Musée du Désert aims to bring to life the Huguenot past and the history of the Camisards.
With its numerous documents and authentic objects, it is the largest and richest museum of Protestant history. It celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011.

By visiting the Desert Museum, you explore the period of the “Desert” (1685-1787) from the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes to the Edict of Toleration. You will learn about the daily life of the Huguenots living in hiding and relive their long march towards freedom of conscience until the revolution.
You will also understand the evolution of Protestantism, from its birth with the Reformation in 1517, until today.

The Musée du Désert is also the starting point of the international path “In the footsteps of the Huguenots”, a cultural route of the Council of Europe since 2013.
