Joseph Denais encyclopaedic collection

This cabinet of curiosities is the culmination of a humanist's dream. Joseph Denais, historian and journalist, created this museum in 1905. It's a must for lovers of fine art, archaeology, ethnography, natural history, encyclopaedic collections and unusual places! As part of the [a]musées project, there will be ongoing activities for families to enjoy during their visit: riddles, charades, seek and find, etc.
