The “Musée de la mémoire vivante” is a modern institution with a participating concept. Permanent and temporary exhibitions are displayed. They are set up with the visitors’ contributions through testimonies and artifacts rather than being conceived and perceived as an end in itself. The exhibitions are meant to incite exchanges, discussions and testimonies, always with the purpose of putting the people and their experiences in the spotlight. At the museum, two studios are available to whoever desires to record his testimony or life experience. Those testimonies are kept for the same reason than objects are in a conventional museum. The different themes approached are in this way not forgotten, Those life experiences are available to anyone who desires to listen to them for learning, social reasons or leasure. It is a true democratization of life stories and experiences.
