MUSÉE HIP-HOP / ARCHIVES
ARCHIVES.
MEMORIES.
STORIES.
Collect, document, preserve and pass on the traces of hip-hop and urban cultures.
A LIVING
MEMORY.
Photographs, films, recordings, posters, objects and testimonies: archives tell the stories of the scenes, places, people and transformations of these cultures.
MUSÉE HIP-HOP connects existing collections, first-hand witnesses and new contributions to keep this memory accessible and alive.
A LIVING
HERITAGE.
Musée Hip-Hop draws on its own archive collection and an extensive network of private collections. We continuously collect, identify and catalogue documents, artworks, objects and testimonies.
Our role is also to bring this heritage to life and into circulation, to shine a light on collections that may be little known and to give them their rightful place in cultural history. Musée Hip-Hop is a leading platform for the recognition, appreciation and transmission of this collective memory.
THE MEDIA
LIBRARY OF
URBAN CULTURES.
Developed by RStyle, the MCU is a historic documentary resource on hip-hop and urban cultures.
It supports collecting, research and knowledge-sharing. The collections and terms of access must be confirmed with the organisations that hold them.

YOUR SPOT.
An ongoing invitation to share the places, memories, stories and documents that make up our collective history.
Every submission starts a conversation. Nothing is published automatically; preservation, loans and donations are discussed with each contributor.
