"The Musée Pasteur celebrates its 100th anniversary

Acquired by the town of Dole in 1911, with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Pasteur Vallery-Radot family, the house in which Louis Pasteur was born was converted into a museum in 1923. The first museum dedicated to Louis Pasteur was inaugurated on 26 May 1923, in the presence of President Alexandre Millerand and learned societies. The town of Dole was one of the first stops on the President's itinerary, and he went on to visit a number of towns in France that had been marked by Louis Pasteur's scientific spirit.

Using photographs, press cuttings and personal accounts, this exhibition pays tribute to Louis Pasteur's centenary celebrations in the Jura, France and the rest of the world in December 1922 and May 1923. It invites you to discover the history of the museum and the tanners' district, where Pasteur's father worked from 1816 as a tanner and currier. In the 1970s, under the aegis of Jacques Duhamel, this district underwent a decisive upheaval, becoming the second protected area in France.

100 years ago, the town of Dole launched a movement that met with the unfailing commitment of volunteers from the Société des Amis de Pasteur. Created in 2013, the EPCC Terre de Louis Pasteur, supported by five local authorities and the Académie des Sciences de Paris, is continuing its fruitful cooperation with the Société des Amis de Pasteur and the Association des Habitants et Amis de la rue Pasteur to bring the birthplace of Dole's most famous scientist to life and raise its profile.
