EXHIBITION - From scientist to researcher: figures from yesterday to today

Exhibition created by the Pôle Culture de l'Université de Bourgogne as part of the "Pasteur de sciences" art-science months.
How has the figure of the scientist changed since the 19th century? Before the caricatures of Louis Pasteur that appeared in the press, the scientist appeared in literature and then in science fiction. Experimenting with the limits of human life, he becomes a cursed being in Faust, Frankenstein or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. With biopics and contemporary popular culture, his face changes and he becomes more human, sometimes even embodying humour. But what about real scientists today? How do they see themselves? What role do they play? This exhibition invites you to discover the different faces of scientists.
