Dear Patrick,

This message deals with the project of the Musée de l'homme, des arts et
civilisations wanted by the President Jacques Chirac.
The Musée de l'Homme is not going to close, but some objects from this
museum, from the MAAO and others are supposed to be taken from the
collections and be exhibited in the museum to be built.

There were several articles in the press.

If this student would like more information, she might browse the press and
if she needs more information, she might contact Germain Viatte who is the
"Directeur du projet muséologique, mission de préfiguration du musée de
l'homme, des arts et civilisations".
