Musée des Lettres et Manuscrits, Literary museum in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France.
The Musée des Lettres et Manuscrits displays thousands of letters, manuscripts, and autographs across three exhibition spaces in Boulevard Saint-Germain.
Founded in 2004 by Gérard Lhéritier at Rue de Nesle, the museum relocated to Boulevard Saint-Germain in 2010 before closing in 2014.
The collection contains 136,000 documents from Victor Hugo, Marcel Proust, George Sand, Napoleon Bonaparte, and other notable French historical figures.
The museum charged 7 euros for regular admission and 5 euros for reduced rates, with free entry for children under 12 years old.
The institution acquired Louis XVI's political testament from the United States, a document that remained missing since the French Revolution.
