Healing Beliefs and Practices Explored at Saint-Denis Museum

The Musée d’art et d’histoire Paul-Eluard in Saint-Denis presents "Croire et guérir" (Believe and Heal), an exhibition tracing the history of healing practices and beliefs. Held in the former Carmelite convent of the city, the show brings together artworks, documents, and objects that illustrate the evolution and diversity of responses to illness—ranging from science and popular traditions to faith. The exhibition examines how different cultures and eras have approached disease, blending medical, spiritual, and folkloric elements.
