The Mucem library

The library is open to researchers and students, as well as local residents, by appointment in the mornings and free access in the afternoons, Monday to Friday. Most of its collections can be borrowed, and registration is free.

Created in June 1937 when the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires (MNATP) opened in Paris, the Mucem library has seen its collections grow rapidly, particularly through the study of popular arts, literature and imagery.
