Housed in the Hôtel de Labenche, a Renaissance building from the 16th century, this museum traces the archaeological history of the city from prehistoric to the middle ages. It has a large collection of finds and includes the oldest preserved Eucharistic dove in Europe which dates to the 11th century. Coming to more recent history, it has collections representing the cultural development of the city and a collection of English Mortlake tapestries from the 17th century.

This museum in the centre of Brive covers the Second World War and the Resistance. It is housed in the former home of Edmond Michelet, a key resistor who was arrested by the Germans in 1943 and sent to the concentration camp at Dachau. He survived and returned to France in 1945 and went on to become Minister for the Armed Forces under the de Gaulle government. His studies on the Resistance won him literary prizes and his home has become a study centre as well as a museum. Many of the museum's collections were gifts from former resistance fighters and it houses an exceptional collection of over 400 propaganda posters.
