13 Place Mésirard, 28100 Dreux
Built between 1902 and 1903, the central part of this building was originally used as a store for fire brigade equipment, 100 years later, it has become the contemporary art centre for the Eure-et-Loir department and hosts original exhibitions of all kinds throughout the year!
Listed in the supplementary register of historic monuments, the original building of the Arsenal des Pompes was designed in 1902 by the architect Eugène-Edouard Avard. The Dreux fire brigade used it as their base until 1961, before it was converted into a covered market in the 1960s following the addition of two extra wings on either side of the building. Following the relocation of the covered market to a new building, it has stood empty since 2002. The ‘ar(t)senal’, symbolised by the letter T, now serves a new purpose closely linked to contemporary artistic movements.
