Musée d'Art et d'Archéologie, Senlis – 'Peur sur le Musée'
In the old bishop's palace: ex-votos and a Gallo-Roman house in the vaulted cellars, Gothic sculpture, and paintings by Thomas Couture upstairs. On 31 October and 1 November it turns into a crime scene – 'Meurtre au musée de Senlis', an investigation led with the victim's notebook – with drop-in 'Petites visites macabres' and costumes encouraged.
