Musee d'Anthropologie du Tabac

The Tobacco Museum is not a promotion of tobacco usage but a deep dive into its complex history. Originating in America over 3000 years ago, tobacco’s journey reflects socio-cultural and economic dynamics across the globe.

Founded in 2002, the museum resides in the Maison Peyrarède, a 17th-century structure representative of architectural styles transitioning from Renaissance to Classicism. It holds a significant collection of historical artefacts that narrate the plant's cultural, political, and artistic impacts through the ages.
