France taps museums to nurture culture

Art museums play an important role in keeping culture alive, Olivier Quiquempois, director and curator of the Museums of Grasse, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper. “However, I think that it is not necessary to open many art museums in a city. What is most important is exhibiting artifacts as effectively as possible.”According to Quiquempois, there are two types of art museums in France – classic and contemporary. French museums frequently organize art performances and dances linked to their collections of artworks in order to lure youth. In France, Vietnam or any nation, museum-goers are introduced to artworks and exhibits by docents.
