Loan of audio systems (audiophones)

They are compulsory for all speakers in the exhibition rooms. During the exhibition "Pierre Dac. Le parti d'en rire" exhibition, these audiophones allow the lecturer to play a video or audio document for the group.
Audiophones are available free of charge to groups who have booked a slot to visit the temporary exhibition. If you need audiophones to visit the collection as a group, please specify this when booking. These audiophones can be fitted with inductive loops for the listening comfort of people who use a hearing aid with a T function. The volume of the audiophones is adjustable.

When the group arrives, the person in charge will hand over an identity document, which will be returned after the audiophones have been returned. In the event of loss, he/she will be required to reimburse the museum for the missing equipment (€98).

External guides may use their own audiophones.

During the Coronavirus epidemic

Sanitary measures are in place to ensure that visitors can enjoy the museum in complete safety. In particular, the size of groups is limited by new gauges; activities respect barrier gestures.
