people, information on the history of immigration in France, in particular since the 19th century, in order to present and acknowledge the role of immigration in the construction of France, by demonstrating the contribution of immigrants to economic development, social change and the cultural life of the country.
The museum’s collections are made up of tangible and intangible works which reflect contrasting historical, anthropological and artistic viewpoints, in order to create an interaction between objects, documents, testimonies and contemporary creations.
