We entered it as in the miraculous room of the kidnapper in Beauty and the Beast by Cocteau (1946). Antoine de Galbert, founder and sensitive soul of La Maison rouge, exhibited them in his own way - a cabinet of curiosities - in the summer of 2010 (“Voyage dans ma tête”). At the end of 2018, this unpredictable ended his Parisian adventure after fourteen prolific years, 122 exhibitions and a last prophetic, "L'Envol". On January 4, 2018, he revealed to Le Figaro his intention to donate his collection of 530 headdresses to the Musée des Confluences, a pointed satellite placed between Rhône and Saône in Lyon. Of which act. In June 2019 opened “The donation of Antoine de Galbert headdresses. The world in mind ”, showing 334. Already more than 300,000 visitors. A popular success and a resounding feat in the region.
