Documentation
The Faïencerie de Gien makes it a point of honor to preserve and promote its heritage by making its archives and collections available. To this end, an online media library has been specially designed for researchers and professionals, allowing them to explore the treasures of the museum as well as the historical archives of the Faïencerie de Gien. This project, the result of several years of work, includes nearly 10,000 archival drawings, as well as the company's old and current collections.
Access to this media library is by request, and a cover letter specifying the subject of your research will be required. For any information or access request, please contact us at the following address: gienheritage@gien.com.
