The museum now functions as an exhibition space for these extremely rare wall coverings, and presents too a unique collection of Modern art. The rich life of the mansion has been recaptured and, for the first time, the interior is now accessible to a wider public. “The modern additions to the historical setting, whether we take as examples the Modern art or the contemporary style of exhibition, are well incorporated. The monument itself is of great importance and the authenticity of the 18th-century residence has remained intact thanks to the care and attention that the conservators paid to every detail,� the jury emphasised.
