The Musee de l'Image is the essential Epinal stop. It presents the popular prints that made the city famous, from soldiers and saints to fairy tales and advertising, with enough context to show how mass images shaped French imagination before radio and television.
The collection is colourful and easy to enjoy even if you are not a print specialist. Pair it with the nearby Imagerie d'Epinal if you want to see how the craft survived from woodblocks and lithography into modern reproduction.
