Exhibition: "De fil en aiguille" from 24 May to 21 September 2025.
A 15th century herbarium as seen by the artist Jan Stevens.
The British artist presents a work born of his encounter with a 1467 manuscript, kept in the library of the Dominicans in Colmar. The latter, an illustrated herbarium of medicinal plants inspired the artist who created a unique book in handmade linen. This mediaeval herbarium thus comes back to life and resonates with our time.

Meeting with the artist and guided tour from 16:30. Saturday 7 June.

The Library houses considerable collections, including 1,217 manuscripts, a third of which date back to the Middle Ages, 2,300 incunabula (mainly editions from German workshops, which constitute the largest collection of this type of work in France after Paris), 50,000 books printed between the 16th a
