U.S. foundation gives $1.3 million to help the Louvre attract and educate kids:: LAT
The Annenberg has granted approx 1.3 million (USD) to help the Louvre found its education department (something no American music exists without)…
The article claims that the Louvre is the first French museum to proceed with such a program - I wonder if that is true.
I recall hands-on gallery areas and special children’s galleries @ Le Pompidou - but perhaps those don’t qualify as intense Education departments within the institution?
Does anyone know of any French museums pursuing children’s education as rigurously as laid out by the Annenberg Foundation’s grant???
