The Cabinet des médailles is the oldest museum in France. Opened in the 17th century, its starting point is the treasure of the kings of France. Over the centuries, it has been enriched with leading collections (Comte de Caylus, Duc de Luynes...) and through revolutionary seizures (treasure of Abbey of Saint-Denis). Its famous collections (numismatics, ceramics, ivories, gems, jewels, bronzes, marbles...) are important benchmarks throughout the world.
