- An "Architecture" tour invites visitors to discover the museum, both from the inside and the outside;
- A "History of the Museum" tour traces the history of the museum and the development of its collections through a chronology of key dates;
- A "History of the exhibitions" tour explores the museum's archives through a selection of its most important exhibitions.

This application can be downloaded for free on Android and iOS, in French and English.
In addition to these 4 mediation offers, it will be supplemented from time to time by exhibition visits, offered at a cost of €2.99.
