This exhibition by the Metz Libraries reveals to the public the extraordinary wealth of the collection assembled by Baron Louis-Numa de Salis, bequeathed to the City of Metz in 1892. It spans from medieval charters and manuscripts to engravings by the greatest Lorraine artists (Callot, Leclerc), including beautiful incunabula, illustrated books, and archival documents. The exhibition aims to describe the collector's practices, highlights the research of the scholarly Messin, and concludes with the most beautiful treasures of the collection, featuring illuminations of the Passion Book by Jean Colombe. It also includes exceptional loans from the National Library of France, the Municipal Archives of Metz, and the National Academy of Metz.
