Plunge yourself into the most beautiful swimming pool in France
On the site of the former art-deco swimming pool, a place where Roubaix residents of all ages and walks of life were once frequent visitors, THE SWIMMING POOL, MUSEUM OF ART AND INDUSTRY, now houses collections of paintings, sculpture, drawings, textiles, fashion, design and ceramics.
In this unique Neptune-inspired backdrop, a pool bathed in the light of two superb stained glass windows depicting the rising sun, designed by the talented architect J.P. PHILIPPON (his work transformed the Musée d'Orsay) one of the most beautiful buildings ever built between the two world wars is given new life.
