Temporary exhibitions
La "Description de l'Egypte". Une oeuvre pharaonique.
7 november 2023 - 1 September 2024
The chapel room of Alençon’s library Aveline is currently under renovation to restore its panelling. This remarkable architectural setting is home to very valuable patrimonial collections, and a “monument” of scientific literature of the 19th century, the Description of Egypt, presented in its original bookcase-furniture. For preservation reasons, this exceptional ensemble is on deposit at the museum of Fine arts and Lace during the renovation. A chance to (re)discover this collection and immerse in the history of this mammoth editorial adventure. An exhibition in partnership with the Communauté Urbaine d’Alençon library’s network.
