Musée Josèphe Jacquiot, also Musée Municipal Josèphe Jacquiot,[1] is a museum in Montgeron, France. The museum is named after the numismatist Josèphe Jacquiot and its collections include archives of Egyptian archaeology created by her cousin Etienne Drioton.

Background

[edit]

Founded by Josèphe Jacquiot, the museum was subsequently named in her honour, after her death in 1995.[2] The museum is housed in a mansion house, Maison Chalon, in Montgeron and has four core collections: local history, medals, prints and Egyptology.[3] The museum also has a friends association.[4] Archives related to Maison Chalon are held in Essonne Archives.[5] The museum formally opened on 24 September 1993.[6]

Collections

[edit]

Egyptian artefacts were bequeathed to the museum by Etienne Drioton, who was a French Egyptologist, archaeologist, and Catholic canon.[7] He moved to Montgeron to live with his cousin, Josèphe Jacquiot.[7] One of the most significant objects is the Mefkat stele, which was purchased at auction.[8] The Drioton collection also includes jewellery, objects, and sarcophagi.[8] It also includes an archive of over 500 photographs from the site of Tod, south of Luxor.[9] Personal objects related to Drioton's life are also preserved there, including his scholarly robes and pipe collection.[10]

Exhibitions

The four core collections are each exhibited in specific rooms.[3] Local history of Montgeron is exhibited in the Gilbert Versluys Room.[3] Egyptian collections are exhibited in the Paul Marcel Dammann and the André Jacquemin rooms.[3] Relatedly, the Etienne Drioton Room presents the story of the life of that Egyptologist.[3] His cousin, the founder of the museum, Josèphe Jacquiot, also has a room named for her which displays the museum's medallic and print collections.[3]
