Exposition Portraits de France

The history of France has long overlooked certain figures from diverse and distant horizons. This exhibition conceived by the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle and the ACHAC Research Group offers a new approach: a chronicle of French history more open to the world, to people from overseas territories or immigrant backgrounds.

Presented today by SOS Racisme, this exhibition echoes the values and struggles championed by the association: far from identity retreats, it highlights portraits of those who make France and its history so rich. Far from the stench of hatred, racism, anti-Semitism, and discrimination, the exhibition invites visitors to place on equal footing these personalities who helped forge our Republic's strong values: liberty, equality, fraternity. Against origin-based discrimination, the exhibition itinerary invites everyone to see themselves in this shared history through a selection of 14 panels spanning the eras up to the present day.
