Presentation

Several times a year, the Musée de la Toile de Jouy invites you to attend conferences where experts and scientists share their knowledge.

Themes of forthcoming lectures:
Saturday 18 January at 3pm
‘Made in France: a history of textiles’.
Esclarmonde Monteil, Head Curator of Heritage, Museums of France Department, Ministry of Culture, will take you on a fascinating tour of the history of textiles in France and their key role in the economy and society!
This talk is based on the National Archives' exhibition “Made in France”.
‘Made in France. A history of textiles’ sheds light on the action taken by the State to support this industry, from Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's minister and comptroller-general of finance, through to the government plans of the Fourth and Fifth Republics to try and save it from economic crises before its decline and collapse at the end of the 20th century, particularly in Roubaix and Tourcoing.
Immerse yourself in the history of a unique form of craftsmanship that today bears witness to the richness and challenges of our heritage.

Saturday 8 March at 4pm
