Calling all bargain hunters! Nuit des Musées is back for another edition on Saturday, May 18, 2024. In Paris and throughout theÎle-de-France region, a fabulous program of exceptional nocturnes, free visits and unusual events awaits you in museums, monuments, châteaux and other cultural venues. An unmissable event that promises to be a great time to be had, with friends, family, as a couple or on your own.
Why not take advantage of this year's event to explore the capital's most secret museums? This would be the perfect opportunity to discover the Musée du Service de Santé des Armées, nestled in the heart of Paris' Val-de-Grâce. This former 17th-century abbey became a military hospital, and today still houses the central library of the armed forces health service, the Val-de-Grâce school, as well as the museum. The museum houses a collection focusing on the creation and missions of the armed forces health service, uniforms, hygiene and prevention.
