cultural-heritage · 2026-10-15

In its 16 October 2026 issue (n°685), Le Journal des Arts published an article by Marion Krauze titled "La villa Marmottan, une 'petite villa médicis'," filed under the section Patrimoine et Création. The piece, dated 15 October 2026 and running 790 words, is reserved for subscribers, with the full text accessible only through the publication's subscription offer. The same issue includes further heritage coverage by Krauze and Julien Tribut: the cathedral of Montauban has finally entered a construction phase, with works intended to consolidate the building, treat cracks and restore its chapels (465 words); the Alsatian sanctuary of Mont Sainte-Odile is restoring its two chapels, which are heavily exposed to bad weather, while the project also aims to secure the site (702 words); and the museums of painting and architecture at El Escorial, near Madrid, reopened on 2 October after more than eleven years of closure (95 words). A separate item reports that Museum Studio, the cultural division of the French group Chargeurs, is preparing to take over Chaplin's World, the museum dedicated to Charlie Chaplin inaugurated in 2016 at Corsier-sur-Vevey, on the estate where the actor spent his final years; the same item notes that the Centre Pompidou is soon to be listed as a historic monument. All articles appeared in the Patrimoine section of Le Journal des Arts.
