Museums of France and Maisons des Illustres
The considerable number of heritage establishments, the wealth of collections, the cultural and educational offer make Île-de-France one of the most attractive regions in Europe. It has 131 museums in France, including national institutions, and 91 museums in France belonging to local authorities, associations and foundations that are the subject of scientific monitoring by the DRAC.
OUR MISSIONS
Advisory missions and technical aids to museums in France, in application of the Heritage Code (Book IV), are carried out by the Museum Advisors in close liaison with the French Museum Service of the Direction générale du patrimoine et de l'architecture.
40 sites are labeled Maisons des Illustres since 2011, located in Paris and in the departments of small and large crown. Since the creation of the label 10 years ago, the network has provided Ile-de-France with an undeniable wealth in terms of a sensitive, heritage and cultural approach alongside historical monuments, museums in France and exhibition sites.
