exhibition
This exhibition by the Metz Libraries and Media 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, from medieval charters and manuscripts to engravings by the greatest Lorraine artists (Callot, Leclerc), including beautiful incunabula, illustrated books, and archival documents.
The exhibition, after a brief reminder of the context of the bequest, describes the collector's practices and highlights the research of the scholar from Metz. It concludes with the most beautiful treasures of the collection, including the illuminated manuscripts of the Très Riches Heures by Jean Colombe.
This exhibition also includes exceptional loans from the National Library of France, the Municipal Archives of Metz, and the National Academy of Metz.
