The Picardy Museum in Amiens is a prototype. It was the first museum in France to be built as such. But its construction was no mean feat.
The Museum was initially intended to be a "Little Louvre", a palace. It was only little by little, during the construction work that lasted a record 40 years, and after major questionings that the Museum triumphed over the Monument, and the architectural building adapted to its real function. A succession of seven architects brought the project to fruition, making it an anonymous work of art.
