History

The Musée jurassien was founded over a century ago by Abbot Arthur Daucourt from Delémont. This historian wanted to "strengthen and revive a love of the region in children's hearts". Since it became the Musée jurassien d'art et d'histoire in 1981, this institution has been managed by a foundation in which both the Cantons of Jura and Bern are represented, as well as the Municipality and the Commune bourgeoise of Delémont.
