La Piscine de Roubaix is an Art Deco former swimming pool transformed into the André Diligent Museum of Art and Industry. Explore its architecture, sculptures and textile collections, plan your visit, or arrange a private transfer from Lille.
La Piscine brings together the industrial history of Roubaix, striking Art Deco architecture and collections of fine and applied arts. The preserved central pool, former shower cabins and stained-glass windows make the building an essential part of the museum experience.
The municipal swimming pool designed by architect Albert Baert opens in Roubaix.
The pool closes because of concerns about the structure of its vaulted roof.
The restored building reopens as the André Diligent Museum of Art and Industry.
An extension adds new galleries devoted to sculpture, local history and temporary exhibitions.
The permanent displays connect painting, sculpture, textiles, fashion, ceramics, glass, furniture and jewellery with the industrial heritage of Roubaix.
Water remains at the heart of the former swimming hall. Sculptures line the pool beneath the vaulted roof, while stained-glass windows illuminate the preserved Art Deco interior.
The sculpture collection includes works associated with artists such as Camille Claudel, Auguste Rodin, Rembrandt Bugatti and François Pompon.
Former shower cabins and galleries present paintings, garments, fabric samples, ceramics and decorative objects that reflect the artistic and textile history of Roubaix.
