Photographer’s Note

The Museum is implanted since autumn, 2001 on the site of the ancient municipal swimming pool which is an exceptional buildingship art-decoration. This swimming pool was built between 1927 and 1932 by the architect Albert Baert on the initiative of the mayor, Jean Lebas.
Today registered on the heritage of the XXth century, this swimming pool offered to the population of Roubaix a high-quality sports and hygienic service. Closed since 1985, for safety reasons. The Swimming pool, restored by the architect Jean-Paul Philippon, shelters now, the Museum of Art and industry of Roubaix.
The reflection of the big stained glass in the water is particularly beautiful.
