Aside from shopping and taking in the many ancient attractions that can be found in the city, visiting museums is also among the worthwhile activities in Cahors that a tourist can do. This is because the city has its share of interesting museums and one of these is the Henri Martin Museum.
Born in the town, Henri Martin is regarded as one of the most popular sons of the city during the modern era. A great painter, Martin's work has been displayed in galleries and museums across the globe since the middle part of the 20th century. As such, the Henri Martin Museum holds a choice selection of the works of the painter. However, tracing the rich and fascinating history of the city can also be one of the activities in Cahors that can be done in the museum as it also features a vast collection of archaeological artefacts that were results of local area excavations.
