Who hasn't dreamt of visiting the backstage areas of a museum?
You may already be familiar with the visible side of the Musée de la Loire: paintings, sculptures, engravings, ceramics, tools, models... meticulously displayed on the walls and in the display cases. Haven't you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes?
As the museum continues its second ten-yearly inventory, aimed at checking the presence and condition of the collections, it is offering you the exceptional opportunity to slip into the shoes of a curator for a few moments. You'll be able to follow the progress of this extraordinary project, which is carried out every 10 years by museums that have been awarded the Musée de France label, and which usually takes place behind the scenes, out of sight.
While last year we explored the museum by artistic discipline, in 2024 we're giving you access to the works by theme, this month: animals in the collections. You'll have the chance to go in search of animals and discover a huge variety of objects, rarely shown to the public because they are kept in secret in the reserves.
The visit will be followed by a workshop in which you will have the opportunity to take charge of the reconstruction of a selected work of art.
