The 20th century was a time of museum development, of their questioning, their reinvention, and often their redistribution. The Mucem embodies an essential part of this evolution, thanks to its collections from the Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro, the Musée de l'Homme, and the Musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires, heirs of Georges Henri Rivière (1897-1985). Fascinated by objects, in contact with creators and collectors, Rivière devoted his life to museums, making them not only places of preservation, but also spaces welcoming researchers and the public. Using his life as a guiding thread, "Georges Henri Rivière. Voir, c'est comprendre" paints a portrait of an era: from the Parisian cabaret of the Bœuf sur le toit to ethnological surveys in the Aubrac region, to the invention of a revolutionized museum, an evolving and participatory instrument of knowledge that was previously unparalleled.
