The Musée Cognacq-Jay passes through the municipal bulletin at three moments, from the mid-1930s to the postwar period. In 1936, in the course of a reflection on the names of the City's museums, which do not tell the public what kind of collections they house, it is presented as possessing rare collections of paintings and furniture. In July 1940, the bulletin announces an exhibition of engravings and casts published by the national museums, held at the museum, then at 25 boulevard des Capucines, and open every day from 2 to 6 p.m. Finally, in 1949, municipal councillor René Fiquet raises a question with the administration: according to him, staff cuts had made it impossible to ensure effective supervision during the vacation period, to the point that certain rooms had to be closed to the public. The archive preserves only these three traces for this location.
