These new reserves should be enriched in the coming weeks “from thematic notes on the history of the territory, the remarkable buildings and the archaeological collections”.

Visitors will be able to discover them in two distinct spaces: the one dedicated to collections works of art and space for agricultural collections. The first are composed of sculptures, paintings, tapestries, mosaics, drawings, prints and photographs collected since 1960. That of the agricultural collections brings together 2,200 objects recounting daily life at the beginning of the 20th century in the Plaine des Vertus, between and Saint-Denis.
