About Hôtel Goüin Museum
The Hôtel Goüin Museum is a historic museum located in Tours, France. It is housed in a Renaissance mansion built in the 16th century for wealthy merchant Jacques Goüin. The museum contains collections of decorative arts, paintings, sculptures, and furniture from the 15th to the 18th centuries. The mansion was acquired by the city of Tours in the early 20th century and was opened to the public as a museum in 1927. The collections were enriched over the years with donations and purchases, and the museum now houses over 3,000 works of art. Visitors to the Hôtel Goüin Museum can explore the different rooms of the mansion, including the grand salon, the chapel, and the library, and admire the artworks on display. Some of the highlights of the collection include a series of 16th-century Flemish tapestries, Renaissance furniture, and paintings by French artists such as Jean Clouet and François Boucher. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing different aspects of the decorative arts and the history of Tours and the Loire Valley region.
