Music Day 2023 at the Army Museum: concerts and musical exploration of the collections

Looking for a unique Music Day celebration? Head over to the Army Museum on Wednesday, June 21, 2023. Since 1982, this lively, free, and inclusive festival has brought people together to honor live music. The event showcases the incredible diversity of musical styles—from rock and hip-hop to classical, electronic, French chanson, and even metal—celebrating the vibrant world of music in all its forms.

Throughout the day, amateur and professional musicians take to the streets, as well as bars, concert halls, museums, and monuments, creating a series of memorable musical moments in extraordinary settings for all music lovers to enjoy.

This is the case for the Army Museum. Once again this year, this historic site—established in 1905 from the merger of the Artillery Museum and the Army Historical Museum, both originally housed in the Hôtel des Invalides—joins in the Music Day celebrations. Remember, last year, the Army Museum hosted a jazzy session with the Air Force Band. Together, they performed classic jazz standards, adding a lively tune to the festivities.

For the 2023 edition of the Music Day, the Army Museum is shifting gears and inviting you to explore its collections through music! This festive day marks the end of the Invalides’ musical season, which has been celebrated throughout the year. The Music Day at the Army Museum also offers a wonderful opportunity to highlight the significant role music has played throughout history within the walls of the Hôtel des Invalides.

Please note that entry will be free for visitors from outside. The concert in the Grand Salon is also free, but reservations are recommended to secure a spot (subject to availability) at this address: reservations@musee-armee.fr.
