René Lévesque is indisputably a key figure in Quebec’s political landscape. His career, his style and his achievements still inspire the interest and respect of many.
To pay tribute as part of the celebrations surrounding Lévesque’s 100th birthday, the Musée de la civilisation and the Fondation René-Lévesque have collaborated to produce this exhibition, which paints an intimate portrait of the well-known public figure.
The exhibition highlights key stages in René Lévesque’s life, right up to his death in 1987, through archival documents, objects and personal possessions, many of which are being shown for the first time.
These reveal the child, the journalist, the war correspondent and the politician who did things his own way, unfazed by convention and always with a dash of Tabasco sauce.
