#09 - Jules Verne goes to the museum

The Musée de Picardie is an innovation for the 19th century. Constructed between 1855 and 1867, the building was the first in France specifically designed as a museum of fine arts and archaeology.
Throughout my life in Amiens I have been interested in the museum. Immediately after moving to Amiens, I got involved in the social and cultural life of my adopted country. Long before I was elected to the city council in 1888, I was active in local government. In this way, in 1886, I was appointed to the Administrative Committee of the Musée de Picardie.
In February 1888, I attended the reception of the large painting Pro Patria Ludus (Games for the Fatherland) painted by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes for the museum's porch. I invited my friend Philippe Gille, literary columnist for Figaro and author of opera librettos. The photo that immortalizes this moment shows Frédéric Petit, the incumbent Republican mayor, and me, who had put himself forward as a candidate on his list, side by side.

As a council member, I remain interested in the museum and its collections. As various offices in the town hall are decorated with paintings, I suggest bringing these works to the museum where they can be made accessible to a wider audience.”
