From music boxes to automata, from typewriters to Bolex cameras, Sainte-crix know-how reveals its full potential to amaze.

The Musée de la mécanique d'art et du patrimoine de Sainte-Croix (MuMAPS) is the result of the merger of three museums in Sainte-Croix-L'Auberson: the Centre international de la mécanique d'art (CIMA), the Musée des arts et des sciences (MAS) and the Musée Baud.
‎
Its collections comprise some 15,000 objects illustrating the region's heritage, from Neolithic times to the present day, as well as the local and international development of art mechanics.
‎
The museum offers three exhibitions: two permanent ones - "Once upon a time on Sainte-Croix" and "Art mechanics: the factory of dreams", and a temporary one renewed each year.
