Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration
The Cité aims to recognize the contribution of the immigration in France through the history of the last two centuries
The Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration will open the Musée national de l’Histoire et des Cultures de l’immigration in Paris. The museum will offer to the public an interesting collection concerning the history, the arts and the cultures of Immigration. Particular attention will be drawn on the immigration in France, since the beginning of the XIX century until today. The collection will focus on three main axes:
- the image, with photos, but also embossments, posters, caricatures, comics etc.
- the object, with items that symbolize migration and migrants accompanied by the testimonial of people who have donated them
- the artworks of artists living and working in France that face the issues of migration.
Such a collection will be displayed in more than 1100 m2 of permanent exhibition. It will be organized in three sections: : "Emigrer" (emigrate), "Vivre en France" (live in France), "Diversités" (diversities).
