Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Champollion Museum (French:Musée Champollion) is located in Figeac, Lot.
It houses a collection devoted to Figeac's most famous son, Jean-François Champollion.
It was inaugurated 19 December 1986 in the presence of President François Mitterrand and Jean Leclant, secrétaire perpétuel of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. After two years of building work and extension, the museum re-opened in 2007. Besides Champollion's life and discoveries, the museum also recounts the history of writing. The whole façade is covered in pictograms, from the original ideograms of the whole world.
