Icône polyptyque éthiopienne, XIXe – XXe siècles - Musée Paul-Delouvrier

In Évry-Courecouronnes, in Essonne, a truly unique museum is tucked away inside a strikingly modern church. The Paul Delouvrier Museum, nestled within the Cathedral of the Resurrection, seamlessly blends sacred art, urban development, and the history of the Paris region in a setting that’s both unexpected and profoundly meaningful.

When thinking of the churches of Île-de-France, one often envisions medieval bell towers or Gothic naves illuminated by centuries-old stained glass. But in Évry, the scene takes a strikingly different turn. Opened in 1995, the Cathedral of the Resurrection Saint-Corbinian stands out with its circular architecture crafted from red bricks, crowned by a ring of trees planted atop its roof.

Designed by the renowned architect Mario Botta, a leading figure in contemporary architecture, the church stands out with its precise geometric lines, understated grandeur, and carefully controlled lighting. This spiritual building is a reflection of its era, conceived to serve as a guiding presence for the emerging new city being shaped in its midst.

What many people don't realize is that this cathedral also houses a hidden museum, almost secret, waiting to be uncovered by those who venture inside.

The Paul Delouvrier Museum is tucked away within the cathedral’s spaces, serving as a natural extension of the sacred site. It showcases a diverse collection of religious art, African art, and contemporary art, including paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and liturgical works. Named after Paul Delouvrier, a prominent civil servant and key figure in regional urban planning, the museum honors his significant contributions. He was instrumental in the development of the new towns, including Évry.
