The Heritage Days are a chance to discover France's cultural and historical treasures. Each year, these days celebrate the richness of national heritage by opening the doors of monuments, museums and iconic sites to free access, whether or not they are normally open to the public. This year, the 19 and 20 September 2026, the Journées du Patrimoine invite you to explore the Museum of the 1930s in Boulogne-Billancourt.
Situated in the heart of Boulogne-Billancourt, the Musée des Années 30 is a true showcase dedicated to the works and artists of the early 20th century. Founded in 1939, this museum houses a collection of Art Deco pieces, sculptures, paintings, and applied arts that reveal the vibrant creativity of the interwar years. As you wander its galleries, you’ll step into the inventive atmosphere of the era, discovering artists such as Tamara de Lempicka and Jean Dunand. A genuine journey back in time that revives the Jazz Age with a wealth of detail and a passionate celebration of art from that period.
In addition to its permanent collections, the museum offers guided tours and special events to plunge even deeper into the fascinating world of the 1930s. Whether you're passionate about art, history or simply curious, this visit is a promise of history. All that's left is for you to take a tour... And happy Heritage Days to all!
