European Heritage Days at the Érik Orsenna multimedia library

A range of activities are on offer during these Heritage Days:

- Exhibition ‘Not Everything Is Dark: Metal in Life and Death’ by Corentin Charbonnier
Through an immersion in the world of metal, the exhibition offers a sensitive and profound exploration of the links between nature and death, two foundational themes of the genre. Designed as a truly aesthetic and reflective journey, it invites visitors to take a fresh look at an often-overlooked culture, where visual and auditory power blend with a genuine quest for meaning.
Guided tour of the exhibition, Saturday at 10.30 am and 2.30 pm.

- Written Heritage, the bicentenary of photography: Jigsaw puzzle competition
Come and join us in piecing together images from our collections. On offer: 110, 192 and 500-piece jigsaw puzzles! One jigsaw puzzle to win in each category.
Sunday from 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm – several sessions throughout the afternoon.
