recital
This exhibition by the Libraries and Media Libraries of Metz unveils to the public the extraordinary wealth of the collection gathered by Baron Louis-Numa de Salis, bequeathed to the City of Metz in 1892. It includes medieval charters and manuscripts, engravings by the greatest Lorraine artists (Callot, Leclerc), as well as beautiful incunabula, illustrated books, and archival documents. The exhibition focuses on the collection practices after a brief context of the bequest, highlighting the research of the Metz scholar, and concludes with the finest treasures of the collection, including manuscript illuminations 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.
