DUO Collection
Published by the Occitanie Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (Regional Conservation of Historical Monuments), the works of the Duo collection offer the public to discover, throughout the region, the restoration of monumental heritage and furniture, buildings of the 20th century or buildings and works of art protected under the title of historic monuments.
Combining knowledge, conservation-restoration and valorization, this collection is available in various sections: "Heritage restored", "Heritage of XXe century", "Protected heritage", "Discoveries games", "Discovery circuits", "Materials and know-how", "World Heritage", "Occitania, land of cathedrals", "Archaeological heritage" and "Institutional heritage".
Each work is the result of a multidisciplinary work bringing together architects, engineers, art historians, archaeologists, all experts in their field and guarantors of the transmission of heritage.
