Maréchael Lyautey served as the Director of the 1931 Exposition Coloniale, having previously overseen the protectorate of Morocco for 13 years. According to Peter van Alfen, Lyautey’s goal as director “was to insist on authenticity and accuracy in the presentation of the colonies; all architecture, imported natives, crafts, performances, food, and the like had to be an accurate reflection of that found abroad. … The purpose of the 1931 Exposition Coloniale, Lyautey insisted, was the serious, scientific mission of instruction and education.”
