These people of paradise are the link between art and industry, and bear witness to the diversity of the creations of the time, which can be approached from an artistic, sociological, architectural or technical point of view. Signatures from great artists (Bartholdi, Guimard, Carrier-Belleuse, Rouillard…) make it an invaluable collection.
