The Musée du Pays d'Ussel, classified as a Musée de France, is housed in a complex of four buildings and offers a collection of art and folk traditions, tapestries from the Marche region, printing equipment and religious art.
- The 18th-century Hôtel Bonnot de Bay: display cases housing the tools of craftsmen of yesteryear (clog maker, carpenter, blacksmith, weaver).
- The Maison Moncourier-Beauregard: here you can discover all the objects used for preparing, cooking and preserving food. The saddler's workshop has also been installed here.
- The printing works: the heart of the museum, it houses machines from two printing works that operated in Ussel... In summer, visual artist and lithographer Patrick Sauvat runs lithography workshops!
