Cities and Countryside in Modern Lorraine
Echoing the theme of Les Nuits de la Lecture "Cities and Countryside", a presentation of maps from the 16th to the 18th century illustrates the contrast between city, as a protected and powerful place, and countryside, as cultivated and leisure space. The gallery in the Mutelet room at the Verlaine media library showcases a selection of maps usually kept in the heritage collections of the Metz Libraries and Media Libraries.
