Description

The Musée du Domaine Départemental de Sceaux opened in 1973 in the middle of the Sceaux estate, and displays its collections in 4 prestigious settings. The Château du Second Empire displays the museum's collections on the history of Paris from the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century. The Orangerie, an art gallery built at the end of the 17th century by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, holds sculptures of the Jardins de l’Epoque by Colbert. The Pavillon d'Aurore, a magnificent garden pavilion from the 17th century, has a dome painted by Charles Le Brun with dawn as his inspiration. Lastly, the renovated Ecuries de Colbert offer several services: a restaurant, shop, multimedia area and temporary exhibition room.
