Musées de Troyes

Designed by Pauline Paresys, a Master’s student in Valorisation du patrimoine textuel at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, «Expédition allégorique» is a mediation tool to discover the collections of painting of the Musée des Beaux-Arts on the theme of allegories in an interactive way.
Ideal for French classes, this brand new mediation tool makes the link of painted or scuplté representations and texts of Molière, Hugo, or Baudelaire around the theme of allegories. In the form of a treasure hunt and in an interactive way, students are invited to discover the collections differently!
Each year, the museums of the City of Troyes accompany students in the realization of professional projects, integrated into the university curriculum, which take advantage of the collections allowing them to imagine and materialize a project from A to Z!
Specific slots are offered on Friday, September 16, from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 6pm, on reservation with the public service of the museums.
