Antiquity to the present day. Rare, emotive and often surprising items are on exhibition within its walls, along an itinerary that takes in the Richelieu site’s most beautiful areas. From books to manuscripts, by way of jewellery, coins and medals, maps and plans, musical scores, prints, posters, costumes and photographs, almost 900 outstanding works await your discovery in the heart of Paris.<br /> The Museum’s first wing, which leads from the Column Room to the Louis XV Salon with its lavish rococo decoration from the King’s Cabinet, accommodates a permanent display of items from its collections of antiquities. The <a class="link-default" data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="9f1f23ab-6a58-4f35-a412-1dea4f658aa9" href="/en/mazarin-gallery" title="The Mazarin Gallery">Mazarin Gallery</a>, a showpiece of baroque decoration, exhibits ecclesiastical treasures and works on paper, along with audio and visual recordings. At the end of the Glass Gallery in the Richelieu wing, the Rotunda focuses on all aspects of the performing arts. Due to the fragility of certain artworks, some pieces on display in the Mazarin Gallery and Rotunda are rotated every four months. Every year, a new thematic presentation provides a different perspective on the Library’s collections.</div> <div class="introduction"> </div> <div class="introduction text-align-center"><a class="btn
