Moulins is the center of the former French Bourbon estates, a city that still has traces of its former glory. It is famous for its interesting museums, including the unique Center for Stage Costumes.
The city center has retained its historical character. Here you can see half-timbered houses, sumptuous tenement houses and the monumental, Gothic Cathedral of Our Lady. Today, in this part of the city, there are many restaurants, cafes and pastry shops.
The greatest attractions of Moulins are its museums. The building of the former prince's palace houses the Anne de Beaujeu Museum, known for its magnificent archaeological collection, medieval sculptures, and Flemish, German and Austrian paintings. The Bourbon Museum, on the other hand, presents collections on local history, ethnography and local traditions.
Of great importance for the history of fashion is the National Stage Costumes Center, located in the building of the barracks. His collection, presented at temporary exhibitions, includes costumes from the most important French theaters, created at the end of the 19th and 20th centuries.
