AB - This article focuses on the creation of the Musée Permanent des Colonies and the discourse behind its location, design, decorations, aims, and use of the collections to promote colonialism and Greater France. Referred to as the "soul" of Vincennes, the Musee Permanent des Colonies played a symbolic role during the legendary 1931 International Colonial Exposition in Paris as the physical embodiment of the Exposition itself. The Musée Permanent des Colonies was born in the dual context of celebration of the empire and the beginnings of the anticolonial movement. It appeared when the advantages of France being a great imperial power were touted at the Exposition, while at the same time armed resistance was spreading in the colonies and anti colonialism was growing in France. The discourse of Greater France constructed by colonial reformers was a response to this crisis. According to colonial reformers’ discursive construction, French empire functioned as a constitutive outside that made possible the very distinction between metropole and colony, modernity and tradition, citizen and subject through which Greater France was structured. By nationalizing imperial order these colonial reformers hoped to include the colonies geographically and exclude their natives legally without violating French republic’s liberal and democratic principles. I would like to argue that in its architecture, decorations and exhibitions, the Musée Permanent des Colonies was an embodiment of this idea of organizing oppositions of the imperial order.
