Every year, the Nuit des Musées (Night of the Museums ) attracts the curious and the passionate to an event that promises to be rich in cultural highlights. Every year, this Europe-wide event invites us to discover our heritage in a new light. Monuments, castles, museums and fine institutions open their doors to us for a program of exceptional evening events, free tours and unusual activities. Whether you're a family, a group of friends, a couple or a solo traveler, there's something for everyone. Paris and the whole of theÎle-de-France region are of course on the agenda for this new edition, which awaits you on Saturday, May 18, 2023.
In Seine-et-Marne, the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Melun is taking part in the Nuit des Musées 2024. Located in theHôtel de la Vicomté, a private mansion partially listed as a Monument Historique, the museum's collections of archaeological finds, paintings, drawings and ceramics revolve around the town, its history and the artists associated with it. So, would you like to discover the program that awaits you on Saturday, May 18, 2024? See you below!
In line with the class's "Around the World" educational project, the museum offered multicultural artistic discoveries throughout the school year, focusing on works by ancient artists from the museum's collections and contemporary artists from or inspired by the five continents.
For the first visit to the museum in September, guided tours of the city's historical trail and the exhibition Melun, mon paysage des bords de Seine, combined with accompanying booklets, developed the theme of the landscape from its city - on the European continent - and made the link to the world and travel.
Loans of works from the school art library illustrated the successive discovery of Asia, America and Oceania.
A museum mediator led two practical art workshops in class around the contemporary works of Sacha Chimkevitch on American Jazz and Dana Roman inspired by Aboriginal art. A workshop on Chinese signs took place at the museum, in partnership with the media library.
The students' written productions (on visit booklets, greeting cards with Chinese signs, cards for the restitution on May 18) and artistic productions (painting, mixed media) will be exhibited on May 18 at the museum, where families are invited to attend.
Let yourself be guided by the light of the flashlight and discover the museum's collections as you've never seen them before!
