Exposition sous vitrines, collection été

The three showcases of the Heritage / Marine Sea spaces present each season documents kept in the
heritage reserves of the Mediatheque. This fall, we are taking advantage of European Heritage Days to
exhibit the 2020-2021 novelties of the heritage fund! Every year, we enrich the collections that resonate
all with the history of Saint-Malo and the world of the sea.

Espace Patrimoine showcase : The Chateaubriand, Jacques Cartier and Mathurin Méheut collections
The old local fund grows every year thanks to donations or acquisitions from individuals, old bookstores and auction houses. We present here a selection of documents which all have a heritage interest for Saint-Malo and its region.

Heritage Area Showcase: Archipelago Wings
The book is also a formidable field of artistic expression. For 7 years, the Media Library has been building a collection of artists' books which open up on creation and collaborative work between an author and an artist. This focus of acquisition makes it possible to evoke the sea in all its facets with a contemporary perspective. Here, discover the work of Béatrice Nevoux, engraver and Éric Brault, watercolorist.

Espace Mer Marine showcase: New maritime entrances
The Mer Marine collections are continuing to develop. Depending on the opportunities, we regularly acquire old works of maritime history, biographies of sailors and privateers, illustrations by marine painters or maritime novels. A constant watch is necessary to enrich the treasure of the media library.
