It was an occasion worthy of commemoration, and it was celebrated through many events. Among these were two exhibitions. The first, 1648. War&Peace in Europe, was organized by the Council of Europe. Three hundred years to the day and in the presence of twenty monarchs, state presidents and other dignatories, the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in Munster and Osnabruck was celebrated. Some months earlier, the city museum had also commemorated the day on which a peace treaty had been signed between Spain and the Low Countries. Entitled, The Thirty Years War: Munster&the Peace of Westphalia, it lasted from 30 January to 18 October 1998. Among its 300 exhibits was the programme for the Ballet dansé à Munster sur la nouvelle de l'heureuse naissance de Monseigneir le Conte de Dunois, au mois de Feburier 1646. In a display cabinet could be seen the ballet dedicated to the Conte de Dunois. No author was given, and a simple note was appended: "The two volumes have been bound together and belong to a private collection." The catalogue provided a summary of the two ballets, a reproduction of each title page, and two copperplate engravings - le bal from the workshop of Abraham Bosse and a fine portrait of Anne de Bourbon. Two further pages depicted the double portrait of Henri II d'Orléans, duc de Longueville and his duchess, Anne de Bourbon, with details about the lives and their sojourn in Munster. Both ballet programmes were written by François Ogier, almoner of Claude de Mesmes, conte d'Avaux, chief French representative at the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia. Both texts were printed in Munster by Raesfeld (whose printing house still exists under the name of Rogensberg). Little critical attention has been given to these works, and virtually none to their author.
