museum
This exhibition by the Libraries and Media Libraries of Metz reveals to the public the extraordinary richness of the collection assembled by Baron Louis-Numa de Salis, bequeathed to the City of Metz in 1892. It ranges 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 context of the bequest, describes the collector's practices and also highlights the research of the scholar from Metz, culminating in the most beautiful treasures of the collection, including the illuminations of the Missal of Charles the Bold by Jean Colombe.
This exhibition also features exceptional loans from the National Library of France, the Municipal Archives of Metz, and the National Academy of Metz.
