No one can deny the richness of Mons's public collections!
Sweeping across millennia – from prehistoric stone tools to contemporary artworks – this richness lies in their quantity, their quality, but also their variety (archaeological material, ceramics, textiles, wood sculptures, painted panels and canvases, drawings and watercolours, engravings, weapons, posters, furniture, photos, coins, and much more).
This wonderful diversity adds considerable complexity to the task of streamlining their management, but first and foremost it provides precious evidence of both our shared and personal history.
