This medal commemorates the new cultural gallery opened in 1975 as part of a programme inspired by Claude Lévi-Strauss, which explores various aspects of social life amongst the French peasantry and craftspeople. The museum display of the object was hailed at the time as a remarkable aesthetic achievement.
