Essonne Patronage : Making an Exceptional Public Heritage Shine even Brighter
The Estates of Chamarande and Méréville, Foujita’s house-workshop, the French museum of photography, etc. Some of the Department’s cultural and environmental gems require significant investments for their conservation as well as to make them accessible to all under the best circumstances.
Thanks to the Essonne Patronage Foundation and the generosity of its patrons, it will be possible to:
- Preserve, restore and highlight the department’s patrimony;
- Conserve, restore and acquire artworks and objects that will supplement collections in departmental museums and estates.
The funds collected will be allocated to the various sites and different construction projects will be identified, according to the priorities defined by the Essonne Patronage’s executive board, in accordance with the patron’s wishes.
