He then assisted the survivors. Their testimonies, reported in the press all around the world made a considerable impression. Fifty years before the <em>Titanic<\/em>, this is one of the most tragic maritime disaster of the 19th century. Ernest Renaud then became for the press the perfect figure of the hero, a sailor demonstrating exemplary behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nantes history museum suggested through this exhibition that we question this accident in every possible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public played a role in this tour by following four witnesses of the disaster. They could question historical facts and maybe rewrite history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Curator<\/em><em>: Pierre Chotard (Nantes history museum)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Co-commissioner<\/em><em>: Ga\u00eblle David (Nantes history museum)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Scenography: Olivier Dupont Delestraint, assisted by Delphine Letrosne Poirier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/affiche-austria.jpg\" alt=\"Poster of the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-5064\" width=\"499\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/affiche-austria.jpg 485w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/affiche-austria-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/affiche-austria-67x100.jpg 67w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><figcaption>Poster exhibition &#8220;The Austria: a tragedy in the Atlantic&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Scenography of the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-5067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-1.jpg 975w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-1-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-1-100x65.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Scenography of the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-5070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-2.jpg 975w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-2-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-2-768x397.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-2-100x52.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-3.jpg\" alt=\"Scenography of the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-5073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-3.jpg 975w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-3-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-3-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-3-100x48.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-4.jpg\" alt=\"Scenography of the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-5076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-4.jpg 975w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chateaunantes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Austria-Photo-4-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><figcaption>Exhibition &#8220;The Austria: a tragedy in the Atlantic&#8221; &#8211; \u00a9 Alain Guillard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5082,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[879,877,805,878],"types-evenements":[1108],"types-handicap":[],"indications-recherche":[882,880,824,881],"class_list":["post-5063","evenement","type-evenement","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-atlantic","tag-austria-2","tag-exhibition","tag-tragedy","types-evenements-exhibition","indications-recherche-atlantic","indications-recherche-austria","indications-recherche-exhibition","indications-recherche-tragedy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
