We also thank the young people who tested the virtual exhibition at different stages of its development and whose comments helped enrich the user experience:

The essential contribution of Lucie Bureau and Madeleine Marcil to the realization of this exhibition must be highlighted. They were generous with both their time and their knowledge. We thank them warmly.
