Asking the quite incongruous question of what could eat Godfrey of Bouillon, enables to broaden this quite trivial point into a wider reflexion about food in the Middle Ages. The cooking at this period is currently a topical subject, and will try to know why.
In order to do it, we will isolate at least seven features of the problem we set down, then we will approach a methodological point about the sources we currently have: archeological documents, iconographical documents and representative documents will be viewed; this fact shows how difficult it is to find more direct traces.
Finally, we will go through some food and drinks which are specific to the Middle Ages such as salt, bread, wine, meat, fruits and vegetables... If we still have time to do it, we will approach the question of spices, and we might alqso talk about many others things.
At 8 p.m;
By Mr Gérard Dominé, headmaster of a college in the suburb of Dijon
Entrance: 3€

Whatever social class you come from, your life rythm is scaned by the meals, and cooking represents a major activity sector in the Middle Ages. Consumption never reached peaks as high as it did in the XIVth and XVth centuries.
A daily intake of 500 g of meat and 1kg of bread per person is common. The great number of sources bear witness to this appetite for land food people had in the Middle Ages.
Texts, objects and images enable us to give a picture of the eating pleasures and of their importance
This exhibition is accessible every day, from April 1st till August 31st without bprice supplement.
In partneship with "Les Amis de la Tour Jean sans Peur", from Paris

In Belgium, the Law of the 1st of July 1879 founded secular schools. The confessional aspect varied according to the changes of government. Its obligatory aspect did set up only slowly.
The pupils' notebooks bear witness to the evolution of the instruction and of the society since then.
At first, we wanted to show you only the covers of the notebooks.
But when we opened our oldest notebook, which is dated back to 1883, we couldn't resist to show you the writing we admire, as it is regular and perfect from to first page to the last one; Those notebooks served many years.
The themes which are developped by the covers correspond to the teached matters: history, geography, science, technics... the great events of the XXth Century...
Sometimes, they also take advertising, educational or moralising aspects.
The back is dedicated to a comment about the cover, or it is often decorated with a multiplication table.
The evolution of the colours and of the design enable us to date the notebooks quite correctly
A discovery for the youngest ones and nostalgy for the oldest ones.
To know further:
Visit our old pupils notebooks at the Castle of Bouillon from the 7th of April in the entrance hall of the Scriptura museum
