According to a AFP dispatch, Frederic Mitterrand, speaking at the microphone of the Grand Rendez-vous Europe 1 / Today in France, would have given details of the future Museum stating:
" The House of History of France will be composed of three things: all the French historical museums, portal, and then a place that will allow families to visit the chronology, but also to see films, seminars, etc. . "
On this occasion, he expressed his opinion concerning the choice of installation site of the future museum, saying: " should not be it in a place that is solely dedicated to the history of French monarchy. The history of France is not only the history of the monarchy " before concluding:" So no at Fontainebleau, which is also a magnificent museum beautifully maintained and beautifully directed .
If it is certain that a favorable opinion of the Minister of Culture was a good omen, the fact remains that the dice are thrown and that it will certainly await the decision of the President of the Republic to be able to determine the fate of the nomination of Fontainebleau as the venue for the future Museum of the History of France. ...
