The Nuit des Musées is an opportunity for institutions to offer the public a fresh look at their collections, during a free evening held for its 20th edition on May 18, 2024. And for all you ceramics fans out there, the Musée de Sèvres invites you to spend the evening on its premises, with a whole host of activities for all ages and tastes.
Located in the charming town of Sèvres, just outside Paris, this exceptional museum offers a unique experience exploring the history of ceramics through the centuries. Take this opportunity to immerse yourself in this artistic and technical universe, and rediscover the treasures of the Cité de la Céramique during the Nuit des Musées 2024.
The Musée de Sèvres - Cité de la Cé ramique was created by the merger of the Musée national de Céramique and the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres in 2010. The Manufacture de Sèvres, founded in 1740 under the reign of Louis XV, was moved to its present site in 1756. Since then, it has become a symbol of French porcelain and ceramics expertise, attracting renowned artists and craftsmen. The museum, meanwhile, was created in 1824 to preserve and present works produced by the Manufacture and those from public and private collections. So what's in store for this new edition of Nuit des Musées 2024? We reveal the program for this nocturne!
The heroic feats of Hercules, the physical training of the ancient Greeks and the decor of ceramic sports trophies will hold no more secrets for you!
