This exhibition at the Metz Media Libraries unveils to the public the extraordinary wealth of the collection assembled by Baron Louis-Numa de Salis, bequeathed to the City of Metz in 1892, including medieval charters and manuscripts, engravings by Lorraine's greatest artists (Callot, Leclerc), beautiful incunabula, illustrated books, and archive documents.
The exhibition focuses, after a brief introduction to the context of the bequest, on the collector's practices, as well as highlighting the research of the Metz scholar, and concludes with the collection's finest treasures, featuring the illuminated manuscripts of the Très Riches Heures by Jean Colombe.
This exhibition also showcases exceptional loans from the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Municipal Archives of Metz, and the National Academy of Metz.
