Many glass, pottery and jewellery workshops are open to the public. The art galleries propose temporary exhibitions and display works by artists and craftsmen from Biot.

The glass makers, at the impulse of a genius, Eloi Monod, gave Biot an international fame. Creators and generations of artists that have transmitted their know-how and their workshops secrets, make Biot, still today, one of the leading places for the creation of contemporary glass.
