exhibition
This exhibition at the Libraries and Media Libraries of Metz reveals to the public the extraordinary richness of the collection brought together by Baron Louis-Numa de Salis, bequeathed to the City of Metz in 1892, from medieval charters and manuscripts to engravings by the greatest Lorraine artists (Callot, Leclerc), including beautiful incunables, illustrated books, and archive documents.
The exhibition focuses, after a brief reminder of the legacy context, on describing the collector's practices, highlighting the research of the Metz scholar, and concludes with the most beautiful treasures of the collection, including the illuminated "Livre d'heures" by Jean Colombe.
This exhibition also presents exceptional loans from the National Library of France, the Municipal Archives of Metz, and the National Academy of Metz.
