Heritage
This exhibition by the Bibliothèques Médiathèques de Metz showcases the extraordinary richness of the collection assembled by Baron Louis-Numa de Salis, bequeathed to the City of Metz in 1892. It includes medieval charters and manuscripts, engravings by great Lorraine artists (Callot, Leclerc), beautiful incunables, illustrated books, and archive documents.
The exhibition focuses on the collector's practices, highlights the research of the Metz scholar, and ends with the most beautiful treasures of the collection, including illuminations by Jean Colombe.
This exhibition also features exceptional loans from the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Municipal Archives of Metz, and the Académie nationale de Metz.
