Question 14529 — cultural heritage

Summary

Mrs. Sandra Delannoy questions the Minister of Culture on the situation of the Cousolre speaking machine museum, located in Avesnois, which is today threatened with disappearance following the death of its founder, Jean-Paul Maïeu. This unique establishment, which preserves and promotes an exceptional sound and technical heritage through more than 400 recording and broadcasting devices, plays an essential role in the transmission of the history of sound technologies as well as the cultural attractiveness of a rural area. For several months, the museum has remained closed, due to a lack of resources and a lasting structure to ensure its management and opening to the public. Local actors, associations and residents are actively mobilizing to preserve this emblematic place, without however having sufficient resources to guarantee its survival. In this context, Ms. member therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to support the safeguarding of the Cousolre speaking machine museum. More precisely, she would like to know if exceptional financial support, heritage labeling or technical support could be considered in order to allow the reopening and perpetuation of this cultural facility. She therefore questions him about the possibility of registering this project within a broader policy of support for regional museums and local heritage conservation initiatives, particularly in rural areas.
