Grande Saline revisits the fire that transformed Salins-les-Bains through archives, engravings, melted objects and firefighting equipment. The exhibition follows the blaze, relief effort and rebuilding rules that changed the town’s streets and houses. A hand pump from the Jura firefighters’ museum and reproductions of works by Ingres and Cicéri illustrate the response to the disaster and efforts to fund reconstruction.
