Project « From archive to object: a history of the Mariemont collections »

The Royal Museum of Mariemont has quite exceptional archives we can use to study the history of Mariemont from the arrival of the Warocqué family in the early 19th century onwards. Letters and invoices from Raoul Warocqué’s time (1870-1917) are particularly useful in providing an understanding of the circumstances surrounding the acquisitions and thus explaining the provenance of many pieces in the Mariemont collections.

The archives produced by the public institution since 1920 also tell us about the life of the works (their acquisition, analysis, display). We are currently studying this immensely useful documentary resource for the benefit of all the Mariemont departments.

Researchers

Scientific team

The research carried out at Mariemont is organised around 8 thematic areas which reflect the specific features of the scientific work carried out in the museum sector.

There are around thirty collaborative research projects in which members of the Mariemont scientific team are involved.

The results of this research are made available to the scientific community and are the subject of ongoing accessibility work to ensure that they are passed on to the public.
