Résumé
Johel Coutura : The Bordeaux Museum. The Bordeaux Museum, based on the one created by Court de Gébelin in Paris, was the most striking example of the way the Masons came out into the open on the eve of the French Revolution. Its founder, abbé Dupont des Jumeaux, placed the new institution under the protection of Marie — Antoinette. Its activities were recorded in a Recueil dedicated to the Queen and in the first Bordeaux daily newspaper, the Journal de Guyenne. With its public meetings, free classes (in languages, geometry, literature, painting, etc.), exhibitions of engravings and paintings, the Bordeaux Museum contributed to a great extent to the intellectual development of this important provincial town in the late 18th Century.
