A place of life and creativity, this space is Gustave Courbet's last studio in Ornans, where he worked from 1860 until his exile to Switzerland in 1873. The artist himself oversaw the purchase and conversion of this former foundry in Ornans into a studio. Acquired by the Department of Doubs in 2008, it is listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. Now restored, it retains the only decoration painted by the artist on the ceiling.
