V.5. THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM AND THE INSURRECTIONS
MENU: 5.5. Historical museum & insurrections
PARIS STANDS OUT FOR TWO THINGS: THE CULTURE OF ITS ELITES AND ITS
INSURRECTIONS
How does the Musée Carnavalet show them?
The townhouse of the
Marquise de Sévigny
is now the historical museum.
"I think I will be happy here,"
she wrote.
It magnifies the élites
and almost omits the social conflicts.
A spectacular homage to the elites
A French Revolution that is almost peaceful
The 19th-century insurrections as shown before the renovation
1830: Modish fighters replace plebeians
1848: Fighting that is (almost) deleted
June 1848 gets two short sentences at the back of a room
Barricades, a game for kids
* * *
Next,
A spectacular homage to the elites
