An opportunity to discover the humanities and anthropology collection at the Mucem’s Conservation and Resource Center (CCR).
Created in June 1937 when the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions (MNATP) opened in Paris, the Mucem library has seen rapid growth in its collections, particularly through the study of popular arts, literature, and imagery. Located at the Conservation and Resource Center (in the Belle de Mai district), specializing in ethnology and the humanities, the Mucem library offers the possibility of borrowing or consulting on site 200,000 books and journals on France, Europe, and the Mediterranean. A center of excellence in social anthropology, ethnography, popular arts, storytelling, songs, and circus arts, the library has a remarkable collection of popular prints (Bibliothèque Bleue) from the 17th and 18th centuries.
