The city of Bordeaux was liberated from Nazi occupation on August 28, 1944. In the years that followed, everything changed: women's right to vote and stand for election in 1945, employee social security in 1946, public policies on urban planning and agriculture from 1945, the prosecution of Nazi crimes and racial hatred, the beginnings of decolonization, and the creation of international ties to prevent war in Europe.
The exhibition "Le Monde d’Après" presents the history of the years 1944-1954 through the daily lives of men, women, and children—both famous and unknown—who lived in Bordeaux and Aquitaine during this period.
Anticipating the reopening of the Jean Moulin National Center and drawing on its collections, the exhibition will be held in the 580 m² temporary exhibition spaces of the Musée d’Aquitaine. It aims to be immersive, evoking inhabited or frequently visited places and placing special emphasis on sound design, particularly through musical atmospheres.
