Symposium: The acquisition policy of museums in France and the US

On 22 November 2024, as part of FAB Paris 2024 and in collaboration with the magazine Connaissance des Arts, a symposium on ‘The acquisition policy of museums in France and the USA’ will take place at the Grand Palais.
The symposium involves 6 one-hour conferences, moderated by Guy Boyer, Editorial Director of Connaissance des Arts. Each session will bring together two curators - one from a French museum and one from an American museum - who will engage in a dialogue about their collections and the processes behind their acquisition strategies.
