Background

Founded by Josèphe Jacquiot, the museum was subsequently named in her honour, after her death in 1995. [2] The museum is housed in a mansion house, Maison Chalon, in Montgeron and has four core collections: local history, medals, prints and Egyptology. [3] The museum also has a friends association. [4] Archives related to Maison Chalon are held in Essonne Archives. [5] The museum formally opened on 24 September 1993. [6]

Collections

Egyptian artefacts were bequeathed to the museum by Etienne Drioton, who was a French Egyptologist, archaeologist, and Catholic canon. [7] He moved to Montgeron to live with his cousin, Josèphe Jacquiot. [7] One of the most significant objects is the Mefkat stele, which was purchased at auction. [8] The Drioton collection also includes jewellery, objects, and sarcophagi. [8] It also includes an archive of over 500 photographs from the site of Tod, south of Luxor. [9] Personal objects related to Drioton's life are also preserved there, including his scholarly robes and pipe collection. [10]
