FRENCH VERSION
Internationally recognized American star, sex symbol, singer and jazz fan, Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) was an excellent actress. Adulated and even copied during her lifetime, she was paradoxically denigrated and very limited in the choice of her roles.
The exhibition Marilyn Monroe, 100 years old! take a step aside from the existing myths around the star. She won't try to unravel the truth but will look at what they say about our relationship to women, icons, Hollywood and sexuality. The catalogue will contextualize the legends circulating on Marilyn Monroe because, as the ultimate sex bomb, it is the marker par excellence of morality in the mid-20th century such as the birth of Playboy magazine in the United States, the dissemination of Freudian ideas, the publication of Kinsey reports and the relaxation of censorship in the face of television competition.
