Housed in the house where Jean-François Champollion was born, the museum is dedicated to the history of writing around the world, behind its "thousand-letter façade".
Based on the work of the famous decipherer of hieroglyphics, the collections tell the story of the fabulous adventure of writing, and invite visitors to take a journey through cultures from all over the world: from Mexico to China, via Egypt and the Near East, objects inscribed with brush, calamus or pen evoke a history that began 5300 years ago.
