Concert dessininé
Under Josey Joséphine's pencil, projected archive images come to life and color to the rhythm of the Crazy Hot Rag Band's music. This unique performance is part of the exhibition Mosaïque d'architectures.
Auditorium, Saturday at 4pm. Registration recommended on the website or by telephone.

Mosaic of Architectures exhibition
A mosaic of architectures: this is undoubtedly the decor offered by architectural creation in every era. But rarely has diversity been as great as it was during the development of the Art Deco style, where classicism, historicism, regionalism, Art Nouveau and modernism coexist. Explore these architectural treasures through examples of well-known and little-known buildings, and through documents from the museum's collections, many of which have never been seen before.
Exhibition room, free admission.
