description In the nineteenth century, as the idea of a museum took shape in the Paris region, the first attempts at museography and restoration appeared. An object biography of four wooden sculptures of women attributed to Germain Pilon at the time provides an opportunity to explore these intertwined phenomena. The journey of the figures, which once supported the shrine of Saint Genevieve in the Paris church of the same name, illustrates both the museum practice of an era and its growing taste for the French Renaissance. The aim of this study is to analyse the peregrinations of the group during the nineteenth century, as well as the various practices that enabled it to be exhibited in three institutions that were themselves key players in the history of collections: the Musée des Monuments Français, the Louvre and the History Galleries of Versailles.
