The museum, housed in the castle-fortress of the lords of Bourbon transformed into a prison, offers visitors a journey into Gannatoise history: skeleton of the fossil rhinoceros of 23 million years, God with gallo-Roman, religious arts including an evangeliary of the ninth century, various representations of life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: rural and bourgeois interior, saddlery, sandstone art Méténier, horse-drawn vehicles and automobiles, the resistance to Gannat during the Second World War including the photography background of Gabriel Séruzier. L'Évangéliaire carolingien, a manuscript book on parchment, the most prestigious piece in the museum, can be read on a touchscreen cabinet.
