Charles Peguy Museum, Orleans | Hours, exhibitions and artworks on Artsupp

The Musée Charles Péguy is a house museum in Orléans dedicated to Charles Peguy, a writer originally from the city. The particular museum itinerary offers visitors to walk through the stages of the writer's life as if they were the chapters of a book. The first section of the museum recounts the writer's modest childhood and the early development of his writing skills. The period of political commitment of the young Peguy is then told, who in the Paris of the Affaire Dreyfus stood alongside Jean Jaurès and Emile Zola. The main nucleus of the exhibition itinerary, however, is represented by the reconstruction of his Boutique Cahiers de la Quinzaine, a sort of bookshop-publishing for his writings and those of his contemporaries. The fourth section is dedicated to the writer and poet Péguy, converted to Catholicism, and to his polemical and political works as well as lyrical and mystical. The last part of the museum itinerary is entitled "The epilogue", and traces the last weeks of Lieutenant Péguy, who enlisted in the First World War, where he lost his life at the age of 41. The museum itinerary was completely renewed and made more modern in 2014, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the writer's death. & Nbsp;
