Between heritage and modernity, the Musée du Chanvre et de la Ganterie (Hemp and Glovemaking Museum) is a thematic space presenting two permanent exhibitions, with guided tours, demonstrations and audiovisuals: "Hemp yesterday and today", to discover the history of hemp, a plant of the future, through old tools used in the 19th century in Limousin, as well as its many current applications (food, cosmetics, eco-construction, etc.). & "History of a pair of gloves": from 1924 to 1994, Cognac le Froid, then la Forêt, was an active center for glove-making, and this exhibition presents tools, machines and accessories to help visitors understand how a pair of skin gloves is made. Temporary exhibitions are also held throughout the year. On-site: a store selling organic hemp products.
