About the location

Les silos éphémères / Médiathèque

87 Rue Victoire de la Marne, 52000 Chaumont

Haute-Marne
Grand Est

The silos house a media library in the heart of the Chaumont station district in Haute-Marne. The name recalls that the building was originally an agricultural cooperative, characteristic of 1930s architecture. The rehabilitation project in 1994 allowed to preserve the old grain hoppers, which cross the floors from side to side revealing an impressive glass building in its appearance, both inside and outside. In 2011, the building was awarded the «Heritage of the 20th century» label issued by the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
