Brazilian Hair Growing In Itchy

The castle of the Dukes of Brittany (Nantes)

In the tradition of my previous articles about the exposure of the written heritage ( here, here and there ), I would add the example of Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne in Nantes , visited those days. The museum is dedicated to the history of Nantes since Roman times to the present, with two highlights remarkably addressed: the time of milking and the triangular trade the one hand, the industrial period and the decline of other. A story sometimes painful but always presented with accuracy and intelligence.

course, in such a course, the Conservatives could not make the economics of Archives and chose to fully integrate to the course, among the objects, pictures or books. Their presentation is varied (flat, vertical boxes, prints, original, multimedia systems integration, etc..) As the choice of documents, some of which, by putting into context, even speak to who can not decipher (accounts, lists of slaves with their prices, operating balance). The result is particularly successful in my opinion anyway, and avoids the tedious aspect - and this despite the large number of submissions - that is too often criticized for exhibitions of archival documents. If you go through Nantes, do not hesitate is an inspiring example!
