The publication of the White Paper Museums of France, written by the General Association of conservatives public collections in France, was an expected event in the museum world. The information appears to have been well publicized in the press, if one believes the many brief that were spent by the media.
The facts are simple. The museum world has apparently never been as popular, but those whose job was to manage them are fast disappearing. Crisis? Announced end of a profession, that of the Conservatives? An alarm signal is initiated by the Association, which fears that a large part of the body of the Conservatives, who will retire in the coming years, not be replaced.
The museum world is changing, if the largest establishments have little trouble to do, the smallest but also the ways museums are becoming harder to win. Temporary exhibitions and events, more and more numerous, they are unlikely not to exhaust the resources? And as for the latter, what will be their fate? The temptation among some to ogle on reservations in seeing a potential revenue source. The inalienability of collections, strongly reaffirmed by the profession, he will persist in the coming years?
