As a way to promote French art, history, and culture, French president Nicolas Sarkozy has just declared that entry to ALL French museums is now free to persons under 25 and teachers! This decree comes from a nation-wide effort to "reinforce France's identify...refocus and promote excellence in the arts."
As a teacher AND an art history major, I am majorly excited! Now all I need is a plane ticket to France...

ReplyDeleteDo you have to be French though? I think the article might have said that...wonderful nonetheless! I wish America would do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm still giggling that Perez broke this news. Great idea though, wish the idea had been around when I was a youngster paying hefty admission fees around Paris! Curse my useless Australian dollars!
