In the Municipal Bulletin

The Musée Bourdelle appears in the municipal bulletin as early as 1934, entered for 4 million francs of architectural works within a program covering several of the City's museums. It reappears in 1960 through its collections: the Council examined a proposal to acquire a pastel by Antoine Bourdelle depicting an old woman, and the bulletin reports that a plaster bust of Coquelin Cadet could be acquired at auction for the museum. The following years were those of the building works: in April 1963, the Council took under consideration a third phase of works in the 1964 equipment program, while reducing from 1,022,000 to 600,000 francs the allocation set aside for completing the museum. In early 1964, a credit of 882,000 francs was entered for carrying out this third phase.
