If your children are studying at home…
● On its collections web site, Paris Musées makes available more than 300,000 digital reproductions of works from the museums of the City of Paris. It's free, the images are in high definition and digital browsing is a must... It's a great way to keep busy while your children study or even complete their homework from a distance!
If your teenager is preparing for the Literary Baccalaureate, let him/her know about the Maison de Victor Hugo or the Maison de Balzac. And if he or she is passionate about fashion and its history, this is the opportunity to introduce him or her to our collections!

● On our website, some of our holdings - periodicals, patterns, cutting manuals, department store catalogues - are available. - have been digitized for easy consultation from your home!
If you miss the guided tours…
If you think that nothing can replace the experience of a museum with the warmth and knowledge of an experienced guide, let yourself be tempted by the "thematic virtual displays" that accompany the digitized collections on the Paris Musées collections web site.
For fashion fans, we recommend that you follow the "Paris 1900" and "Women's Fashion and Sport, 1880-1939" trails without leaving your sofa: you will discover striking works, with varied explanations and high-definition illustrations.
