The Musée de l'Histoire de Nantes is a Nantes museum on the history of the city. It is located inside the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, a medieval-Renaissance style castle, built between the 13th and 16th centuries in Nantes: in fact, although Nantes today is in the Pays de la Loire region, it is a city very linked to the Brittany both geographically and historically. The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a granite stronghold that encloses a residence with elegant white tuff facades and decorated with Renaissance loggias. Inside, the Nantes History Museum is organized in 32 rooms, with a collection that houses more than 1150 objects. where it is possible to reconstruct the development of the city from its origins to the present day. The sections relating to the Atlantic trade, slavery and the two world wars constitute museographic references at an international level. The museum also offers a new way of approaching history, with "global history": through global history, the public is invited to look at the past as one looks at the present. Furthermore, this method wants to change the Western centric point of view, in showing history by connecting several continents to each other: this allows us to abandon a European, Western and victorious perspective to which historiography has always accustomed us.
