What an interesting public exhibition. May 1968 must have been a fascinating period in France. Can you imagine social unrest so powerful that the country's president, de Gaulle, was actually forced to flee for a few days. I wonder how Sarkozy would have reacted? Probably he would have sent in the army....

girasoli, 1968 in Europe was a revolution, it started in the US in a university but I cannot remember which one it was. In Paris it was real violent and must have been incredible.
