The Post Office Museum returns to its walls, renovated, upgraded, bright and accessible to all in optimal conditions of visit. The building, designed by the architect André Chatelin, Grand Prix of Rome, had been inaugurated in 1973. Emblematic of the architecture of the 1970s, its facade was worked by the sculptor Robert Juvin who gave life to the three reserved blind levels to collections. Using small-scale molded concrete, evoking the intaglio of a large-scale stamp – the serrations blending in with the grooves in the facade – helps create an original topography.
