Résumé anglais Dominique Schnapper : Museums and Schools. This study deals with the kind of public which came to the Louvre in order to see the eight works of Picasso exhibited on his 90th birthday in November 1971. Although the exposition, because of its unusual and publicized nature, attracted persons who do not ordinarily go to museums, most visitors belonged to the « upper classes », not to all parts of these classes but especially to the « cultivated » ones, such as teachers, students and artists, who frequently visit museums. A correlation exists between going to a museum and being in or part of a school system. Museums are an extension of the scholastic world, and those who go there often belong, provisionally or definitively, to that world.
