Free visit of the historical seat (room known as «sessions» and library) of the Société des Antiquaires de Picardie, and meeting with the members of the association. Founded in 1836, the Société des Antiquaires de Picardie’s main aim is to study the art and history of Picardy and the Picardy-speaking countries. Thus, since 1838 she has published research and discoveries in her collections of «Mémoires» and «Bulletins», a collective work of irreplaceable value. Recognized as a public utility in 1851, it was responsible for the construction of the current Picardy Museum, which it donated to the City of Amiens with its archaeological collections in 1869. In return, this scholarly society still occupies the two spaces that constitute its historic seat: the room known as the “sessions” and a library rich of about 80,000 books, printed and manuscripts.
