In this web period, the museum's vocation is to remind us of the prime role played by the printed book. It is one of the Europe's leading museums in its field and was designated with the "Musée de France" quality title in 2005.

Please note that the museum closed its doors on 1 June 2025 to embark on a major transformation: making the Renaissance building accessible, enhancing its value and completely overhauling the museum's itinerary. Between now and its reopening in the spring of 2027, the museum will continue to pursue its mission, offering a rich programme of events outside its walls.
