The Monthly Original | A selection of works by artists from the Heure Joyeuse collection.

The historical collections of the Françoise Sagan media library are coming out of storage to reveal fascinating objects. Throughout the month of December 2025, the "L'Heure joyeuse" library will showcase creations where art and play intertwine in unexpected ways. These rare pieces, from a valuable historical collection, demonstrate how artists have reinvented the rules and mediums to stimulate the imagination of both children and adults. This exhibition is part of the "Case départ" program, a celebration of playful culture organized by the libraries of Paris. It is a unique opportunity to observe these fragile specimens up close, which are rarely presented to the public. Whether you are an art history enthusiast or simply curious, this event offers a fresh perspective on a heritage that is usually well-guarded.
