Museum news
The Antoine Vivenel Museum reopens
The Antoine Vivenel Museum reopened to the public on Saturday May 13 at 8pm, on the occasion of the European Museum Night.
This was an opportunity to discover the renovation of the reception area(the entrance is now via Songeons Park) and the creation of a multimedia space on the history of Compiègne (Site d'immersion historique or SIH).
This space offers visitors a narrative on the history of Compiègne and its region, through an introductory film and virtual visits to major sites via interactive stations. A self-guided experience to be enjoyed in the museum before discovering the region, thanks to the "carnet d'exploration" (exploration booklet) included with the admission ticket.
Prices :
SIH only: €4 / €3 concessions (free for children under 6)
SIH Pass musées : 7€ / 5€ réduit (free for children under 6)
Information: 03.44.20.26.04

■ SO GREEK!
Antoine Vivenel's collection of Greek vases in the spotlight
from June 15 to December 29, 2024
From everyday life to mythology, from banquets to the labors of Heracles, from war scenes to the games that are a must-see in this Olympic year, the works presented here take us into the lively and fascinating world of ancient Greece, revealed through their prodigious imagery and always striking beauty.
Stories of women, men, gods, heroes and monsters are revealed through fascinating iconography and the talent of the painters who depicted them.
The exhibition invites you to (re)discover the jewel in the crown of the Musée Antoine Vivenel's collections.
All aboard for ancient Greece!
