A house of remembrance, the Musée Rousseau is a living example of a "place of memory". It occupies part of the late 15th-century home lived in by the famous writer, philosopher and musician between 1762 and 1765 during his exile in the Principality of Neuchâtel. A selection of its rich iconographic collections, including a pastel portrait of Jean-Jacques attributed to Maurice Quentin de la Tour (1752) and various "rousseauiana", are featured in the permanent exhibition or in annual temporary presentations. Since the 2012 anniversary year, the "Rousseau vallonnier" exhibition has offered a completely renewed presentation.
