«Malaise dans les musées» is the essay by Jean Clair, published by Flammarion in paperback (100 pages, in French).
Jean Clair, former director of the Picasso Museum in Paris, denounces the drift of museums and criticises French cultural policies. He warns that their identity, cultural and political values are forgotten and of the risk of them ending up as warehouses of goods; he cites the Louvre's policy in Abu Dhabi as an example.
This work is part of the «Café Voltaire» collection by Flammarion; it was published on 28 September 2007.
For readers interested in the essay, art and criticism of cultural institutions.
