Apprivoiser l’espace pour am\u00e9nager le territoire am\u00e9ricain au XIXe si\u00e8cle.<\/h3>\n

Une exposition de la Biblioth\u00e8que MINES Paris PSL au Mus\u00e9e de Min\u00e9ralogie<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

La Biblioth\u00e8que de MINES Paris PSL propose l’exposition \u00ab\u00a0GO WEST\u00a0\u00bb au Mus\u00e9e de Min\u00e9ralogie. Cette exposition, propos\u00e9e en avant-premi\u00e8re en juin 2017 \u00e0 la Biblioth\u00e8que de Fontainebleau, est \u00e0 (re)d\u00e9couvrir jusqu’au 17 mars 2018 au Mus\u00e9e de Min\u00e9ralogie.<\/p>\n

Depuis l’exp\u00e9dition Lewis et Clark au d\u00e9but du XIXe si\u00e8cle<\/strong>, les Am\u00e9ricains cherchent \u00e0 p\u00e9n\u00e9trer vers l’ouest du continent<\/strong> et assurer une liaison directe entre les fa\u00e7ades atlantique et pacifique. Si l’id\u00e9e d’une liaison ferroviaire s’impose d\u00e8s 1830, les moyens techniques et financiers ne permettront \u00e0 ce projet de devenir r\u00e9alit\u00e9 qu’en 1869.<\/p>\n

Cette construction, si importante pour le d\u00e9veloppement des \u00c9tats-Unis, a donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 des exp\u00e9ditions exploratoires \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur du continent auxquelles ont particip\u00e9 de nombreux scientifiques et ing\u00e9nieurs. A c\u00f4t\u00e9 des exigences d’am\u00e9nagement du territoire (il \u00e9tait imp\u00e9ratif d\u2019\u00e9tablir des cartes pour savoir o\u00f9 faire passer le train<\/strong>), de nombreuses d\u00e9couvertes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9es sur le plan des esp\u00e8ces naturelles aussi bien pour la faune que pour la flore, mais aussi sur le plan des richesses min\u00e9rales<\/strong>. Ils ont ainsi grandement contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 la connaissance d’un pays aux dimensions aussi vastes que celles d’un continent.<\/p>\n

La biblioth\u00e8que de MINES Paris PSL propose une exposition sur les traces de ces exp\u00e9ditions<\/strong>, au travers de cartes originales, r\u00e9cits et rapports souvent illustr\u00e9s de magnifiques lithographies, des photographies, issus des collections du fonds ancien de l\u2019\u00c9cole<\/strong>. Le Mus\u00e9e de min\u00e9ralogie s\u2019associe \u00e0 cette exposition en pr\u00eatant des \u00e9chantillons de roches ou min\u00e9raux, parmi les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres la c\u00f4te ouest des Etats-Unis et en accueillant l’exposition dans ses locaux.<\/p>\n
