Heritage and photography media library
As last year, the MPP will be welcoming to its forecourt vintage vehicles on loan from the Fédération Française des Véhicules d'Epoque (pre-war period to the late 80s). These vehicles will be on display in front of the MPP from Saturday morning to Sunday evening.
The three-year partnership between the FFVE and the French Ministry of Culture was signed in February 2020 by Jean-Louis BLANC, President of the Fédération Française de Véhicules d'Epoque, and Franck RIESTER, then Minister of Culture.
The aim of this partnership is to show elected representatives and the general public of all ages that vintage vehicles are as much an integral part of France's industrial heritage as its built heritage.
Demonstrations, fresco making and mediation about fresco. Three professional speakers from the Pari(s) Affresco fresco collective will lead this workshop, including Isabelle Bonzom, artist, fresco artist and author of the book "La fresque art et technique" (Eyrolles), art historian and lecturer.
