This museum is named after Georges de La Tour, born in 1593 in Vic-sur-Seille, the greatest painter of the 17th century in Lorraine.
Georges de La Tour was the subject of numerous orders from King Louis XIII and a large Parisian clientele.
In 2003, the Georges de La Tour Museum opened its doors in Vic-sur-Seille, the painter’s hometown. The public can discover a hundred paintings,
from the 17th to the 19th century, of which the most singular work by the painter is "Saint-Jean Baptiste in the Desert".
The Georges de La Tour Museum regularly organizes events to better understand the wealth of the permanent collection.
Each year, a temporary exhibition highlights the rich collection of works belonging to the Museum.
