“More difficult to see than the Pope”: the “Mona Lisa of manuscripts” prepares her big return to Chantilly

“This manuscript is harder to see than the Pope or the President of the United States. » Behind the quip of Mathieu Deldicque, chief heritage curator and director of the Condé museum in Chantilly (Oise), we can easily see the event-driven nature of the exhibition dedicated next year to the “Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry”.

An iconic medieval work, a book of hours which is part of the collections of the Château de Chantilly and which has not been exhibited to the public since 2004. But first, we will have to finish with a meticulous restoration of the work from 206 sheets containing 66 large miniatures and 65 smaller ones.
