This summer, the Munaé is shaking up its programming with the exhibition Dessins d?enfants (1936-1941): du Munaé à l?UNESCO. Last April, 297 drawings from the museum?s "Jouclard collection" were added to UNESCO?s "Memory of the World" register.
In April 2025, Drawings and writings by children in wartime Europe: 1915 ? 1950 were added to UNESCO?s "Memory of the World" register. They come from seventeen institutions in eight European countries and Canada. Among them are 297 drawings from the Munaé collections. They were produced between 1936 and 1941 by young Parisian girls aged 14 to 16 attending the Cours complémentaire. Their teacher, Adrienne Jouclard, was also a painter. She allowed her young pupils to draw freely about their daily lives: nursery rhymes, playtime games, July 14th and November 11th commemorations in 1936 and 1938, then the events of the early years of the Second World War. The 1939 drawings focus on general mobilization and the "Phony War". The most numerous drawings concern the exodus from France in May and June 1940, and the return home with the crossing of the demarcation line between July and September 1940. Adrienne Jouclard?s pupils also drew the long queues in front of stores and the difficulties mothers faced in obtaining supplies in autumn - winter 1940 - 1941. The exhibition Dessins d?enfants (1936 ? 1941) : du Munaé à l?UNESCO presents some thirty drawings from the Jouclard collection.
