L' Appartement témoin, réserve visitable au Centre de Conservation et de Ressources du Mucem - Mucem/Marianne Kuhn
Guided Tour

Visit the show apartment

The Mucem reserves

Mucem has a reserve specially designed and conceived for visitors.

Visitors can also take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Mucem to experience the richness and diversity of the collections housed in the CCR’s 7,000 m² of storage facilities (archives, artwork files, library, recordings, etc.). Part of the storage facilities is thus showcased in the form of an 800-square-meter “model apartment,” allowing visitors to explore a selection of the preserved collections and learn about their role, as well as the storage systems and conservation methods used.

Practical information

Please bring proof of identity with you on your visit.
A checkroom is available for luggage and bulky items.
Photographs inside the storerooms are not permitted.
