The access door to the museum is located on Portalet street . Before the restoration, it was the door to the stables. Today only some small constructions remain. They have got no historical value, so they are demolish to build a new volume.
This will be the responsible for connecting the existing building and the city wall. But it also concentrates the hall, the space for temporal exhibitions, the lavatories and it permits to look at the surroundings from its flat roof.
The existing walls don’t have stability problems. But they are supposed to do not have enough strength to resist the transformation of the building, especially in the rooms of the archive. In addition, these walls are very irregular.
So a second structure is added. It is formed by iron columns as well as iron main beams.
In some points the horizontal structure is helped by reinforced concrete.
The roofs are completely renewed in order to solve the constructive problems of the existing ones. But also to eliminate the bugs that live on its wood beams, most of them termites.
