The Artothèque houses the collections that are not permanently exhibited in the other museums of the city of Mons.
In addition to its mission of preservation, this place also plays a significant role in promoting Mons' heritage by making it virtually accessible and shedding light on the "hidden" professions within museums.
Curious to discover heritage in an unconventional way?
The Artothèque takes you behind the scenes of the museums.
Enjoy an exclusive visit to the "backstage" of museum collections accompanied by a heritage curator: reserves, restoration, and digitization workshops—these places will no longer hold any secrets for you!
Book your visit: The Artothèque, behind the scenes of the collections.

L'Arthoteque de Mons, le musée qui regroupe une très grande partie des œuvre de la ville de Mons, plus de 50.000! Les œuvres sont exposée par roulement . plusieurs outils digitaux permettent de " voir" les œuvres en détail.

Très très beau lieu culturel. Une archive au top et une visite interactive superbe. Il y a moyen de zoomer une œuvre et de découvrir les débuts des craquelures sur une peinture...
