MUSÉE CARNAVALET
The challenge of this renovation was to create a new tour layout for the museum, while nevertheless conserving its architecture and the special atmosphere of this museum so dear to the hearts of the Parisians. Another concern was to satisfy the museum’s ambitions of international outreach.
In 2015 the studio was selected to direct the restoration and redevelopment of the site, and to redesign its interior in contemporary fashion accessible to all members of the public.
Chatillon Architectes restored certain roofings and facades, among which were those of great French architects like François Mansart and Libéral Bruant, and also redesigned the visitors’ tour, with a new reception area and the organisation of temporary and permanent exhibition rooms in the cellars, which until that time had not been open to the public.
