In association with Les Rendez-vous de l’Histoire de Blois and bd BOUM This graphic novel is the first French-language biography of a key figure of modern science and history who remains little known in France. The inventor of mustard gas during the World War 1, Haber was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918. The second volume of Fritz Haber received the 2008 Château de Cheverny prize for historical comics. The exhibition presents the original pages of the graphic novel amply documented by historical information related to Haber’s life as well as the making of the graphic novel: Haber’s personal life, his laboratory, the German Kaiser’s foreign policy, the scientist’s involvement in the war, the German cinema. Sixty original drawings and some fifty objects from the Historial’s collection are brought together in an installation punctuated by historical quotations and excerpts from archival films. Curator: Sylvain Gache (bd BOUM) Co-producers: Museum of the Great War, ‘Rendez-vous de l’histoire’, bd BOUM. An exhibition from 25 February to 9 May 2010. |
