Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Musee de l'insolite (Museum of the Unusual) with additional information or photos.

Created in 1988 by Bertrand Chenu, the Musee de l’insolite (French for Museum of the Unusual) is a fantastic display of humoristic sculptures, paintings, and objects. The museum is as fascinating as it is surprising, and it is constantly expanding.

From the artwork in the little house to the gigantic restructured car or metallic boat in the garden, you’re in for a truly unusual experience!
