The city has undertaken a program of renovation of the palace under the direction of architects Cléris Daniel and Jean-Michel Daubourg. Besides the renovation of the palace the work helped to rebuild the part of the monument that was destroyed in 1943 during the fighting for the liberation of Corsica. The new museum was inaugurated in June 2010. The museum collections are organized into four themes: birth and urban growth, centre of power, cultural centre, and the Palace of Governors. The turret of the submarine Casabianca was preserved in the courtyard until the renovations. * The '''Mattei Terraces'''{{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B001286|IA2B001286 Mattei Terraces}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * The '''Villa Lota Garden''' (20th century){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B001285|IA2B001285 Villa Lota Garden}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * The '''Cardo Cemetery Garden''' (20th century){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B001283|IA2B001283 Cardo Cemetery Garden}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * The '''German Cemetery Garden''' (20th century){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B001268|IA2B001268 German Cemetery Garden}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * The '''Bosquet Pecunia Green Area'''{{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B001267|IA2B001267 Bosquet Pecunia Green Area}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * A '''Foundry''' (1870){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B000560|IA2B000560 Foundry}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * The '''Cardo Copper Mine''' (1868){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B000372|IA2B000372 Cardo Copper Mine}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> * The '''Toga Iron Works''' (1842){{Mérimée Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Mérimée {{Mérimée|IA2B000941|IA2B000941 Toga Iron Works}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref>
