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.
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!
