Cond\u00e9 Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Housed in the heart of the Ch\u00e2teau de Chantilly, the Cond\u00e9 Museum houses more than 830 paintings, 4,000 drawings, 5,000 prints, 1,700 old photographs, around 250 sculptures and more than 5,000 works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cond\u00e9 museum thus brings together an exceptional collection of paintings by Rapha\u00ebl, Clouet, Poussin, Watteau, Ingres, Delacroix and even Corot. Some of them are major works such as Raphael’s Three Graces <\/em>or Poussin’s The Massacre of the Innocents<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Library and Archives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The library and archives of the Cond\u00e9 de Chantilly museum preserve the rich collections of books and written documents assembled over the centuries by the lords of Chantilly, members of the families of Montmorency and Bourbon-Cond\u00e9, such as those acquired by the Duke of ‘Aumale in the 19th century. The old collections are supplemented by modern and contemporary documentary collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reading room<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The result of the Duke of Aumale’s desire to encourage the study of his collections, the chateau’s reading room welcomes some three hundred researchers each year. There continues the work of Henri d’Orl\u00e9ans, author of a monumental Histoire des princes de Cond\u00e9<\/em>, who surrounded himself with the greatest scholars of his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers are welcomed free of charge, by appointment, in an exceptional setting, overlooking the garden of the Aviary and marked by the Duke of Aumale’s taste for hunting. Researchers are admitted regardless of their profile: academics, heritage professionals, but also students or amateurs keen on genealogy or curious about the history of their region. A third of the readers are foreigners, proof of the international influence of the library’s collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teams document the history of the works and of the castle. They are continuing the work of inventorying and identifying old collections in order to make them better known. This is accompanied by restoration and exhibition programs. Each year, new documents are also digitized and put online, always with the prospect of being accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
