Press Release - Pondicherry Textile Park - France Muséums is happy to share the success of its April 2022 mission to Pondicherry, India. An expert team led by France Museums CEO Hervé Barbaret and Coumar Ananda Pondicherry Textile Park Sponsor, kick-started a new type of hybrid cultural destination in India. 

Jointly organised by France Muséums, Musée du Louvre and Louvre Abu Dhabi, the new temporary exhibition “Stories of Paper” will take place from 20 April to 24 July 2022. The exhibition explores the countless opportunities paper offers for artistic expression and encourages visitors to take a fresh look at this everyday material that has become less widely used in the digital era. These “stories of paper” give visitors the chance to discover points of convergence between different civilisations in innovative, palpable ways.

Most of the museum projects have become more complex and larger in recent years. Clients have been pushing design and content boundaries, while designers have been challenging the limits of buildability. Programs have been getting fast-tracked, visitors’ expectations and customers’ demand for cutting-edge experiences seem to be rising day by day. To deliver such a coherent and complete experience to their audience, upcoming museum projects must rely on an integrative approach and clearly state their vision.

France Muséums and the SCET Group, a public-interest organization fully owned subsidiary of the Caisse des Dépôts, have jointly published a white paper to analyse the challenges of territorial tourist attractiveness and the key role of cultural tourism today.

Co organised by France Muséums, the Palace of Versailles and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, “Versailles & the world” was designed, produced and installed during the pandemic and consequently had to cope with a host of constraints and unforeseen problems. It demonstrates that the global crisis affecting us all can also be an opportunity to step back and think about new ways of constructing exhibitions.

In an article published in Art Business News, Hervé Barbaret, CEO of France Muséums, outlines the vision of France Muséums for the museum of the future.
