A great connoisseur of stones, Roger Caillois (1913–1978) left behind him a poetic and aesthetic view of the world of minerals, which he helped introduce to the general public. Through his texts and his “dreamstones” collection, he leaves us a unique legacy, which we invite you to rediscover at the Museum. In particular, nearly one thousand of his stones have recently reappeared to join the Museum collection.
