The Berry Museum is a museum located in Bourges, the historic capital of Berry. The collection behind the museum was founded in 1834 by Claude-Denis Mater. Installed first in part of the Palais Jacques-Cœur then in the current Hôtel d'Anglande, rue Jacques Cœur, it has been housed since 1891 in the Hôtel Cujas. It was in 1912 that it took the title of “Museum of Berry”. Originally made up of coins and works of art, the Berry Museum collection has gradually been enriched in these disciplines, as well as in the fields of archeology and medieval history. It was only from 1950 that a real regional ethnographic background was created. Currently, the ground floor is devoted to archaeological collections, from prehistory to the end of Gallo-Roman times. One of these rooms notably exhibits 220 Gallo-Roman steles and decorations from ancient Bourges. Another room brings together a collection of Egyptian funerary objects, including the mummy of Djehdor, dating from the 4th century BC. We also notice Etruscan bronzes from the protohistoric period, mosaics, wall paintings, glass dishes, terracottas and bronzes from the Gallo-Roman period. Another wing is devoted to the arts of Berry: a room exhibits the mourners from the tomb of Duke Jean de Berry among other medieval works. There are also paintings by the painter Jean Boucher (1568 - 1632), known as Boucher de Bourges. On the first floor, there are works by Italian, Dutch and French painters with works dating from the 16th to the 19th century.
