| description | The Flaubert Museum and Museum of the History of Medicine in Rouen is both a writer’s house and an institution promoting medical collections. Within this joint Museum, one of the objects that meet the greatest success is itself a conceptual hybrid: it’s a stuffed parrot exposed in the Flaubert’s native room, which is known to have served as a source of inspiration to the great novelist to write A simple heart. However, the publication of the book by Julian Barnes, Flaubert’s Parrot, in 1984 transformed the status of the stuffed Parrot and the mode of visiting the Museum. The visitors don’t only seek to discover the “atmosphere” in which grew Flaubert, they also question the authenticity of the Parrot, which thus steals the show from the writer. This reversal of things thus reveals the interference between literary fiction and the visit of the Museum, or between the paradigm of pilgrimage and of survey in the Flaubert’s display and the exhibition of his parrot. |
