Due to the renovation of the site, in preparation for the opening of the Cité des Présents, a cultural establishment bringing together the former museums of Château-Chinon, the Arts and Diplomacy museum will be closed from 1 September 2019 until 2025.
Opened in 1986 in the former Sainte-Claire convent, built in the 18? century, the museum preserves and displays the official and personal gifts received by François Mitterrand in his capacity as President of the Republic between 1981 and 1995, and donated by him to the Department of Nièvre.
