In 1886 Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale (1822-1897), gave to the Institut de France, of which he was a member, his château de Chantilly and the collections that were brought together to create the musée Condé.
Over time, reserves have continued to grow. Rather than build a new building, the museum chose to the attic of the large stables of the castle to preserve its collections.
This choice energy-efficient uses the rich built heritage of Chantilly and turns out to be eco-responsible. The work was designed to make use of the capacity of the building itself.
Moreover, in this same ecological logic, the materials chosen are natural and aim, as much as possible, to create an osmosis between new and old elements. These new reserves will meet the highest conservation requirements of the works, particularly in terms of temperature and humidity.
This renovation project was accompanied by the DRAC Hauts-de-France for museum investment work.
