They are unanimous.
Whether it is Mathieu Deldicque, the current heritage curator and director of the Condé museum, or the one who held this position for thirty years before him, Nicole Garnier, the opinion remains the same: the Friends of the Condé museum are essential for the preservation of the works present in the Château de Chantilly (Oise).
“We couldn’t do anything without them,” says the first.
Since 1971, this association recognized as being of public utility has been among the largest associations of museum friends in France, only surpassed in number of members by those of the Louvre and that of the Château de Versailles.
“We draw 80% of our resources from memberships, the rest are donations, we do not receive any subsidies,” explains Claude Charpentier, president of the Friends of the Condé Museum.
We bring between 150,000 and 160,000 euros to the museum each year, sometimes more.
