The Musée du Livre is being set up on the site of the municipal library in a Dominican convent whose cloister is a listed historic monument. The aim of this prestigious project is to showcase the town’s written and built heritage, to provide pleasant, expert-ready research rooms and, over the long term, to ensure optimal conditions for conserving all of the town’s ever-growing collection of books. The new facility will also host a broad range of audiences ready to experience the remarkable quality of the convent and discover its heritage value through attractive scenography. This new complex devoted to books also echoes the nearby Musée Unterlinden.#cut
