12/6/24 – Nominations – Le Havre, André Malraux Museum of Modern Art; Mulhouse, Museum of Fine Arts and Historical Museum – The announcement at the end of May of the renewal of Amélie Simier at the head of the Rodin Museum (see the news item dated 4/3/21) for a second three-year term, reminds us of the many recent appointments that we have not still mentioned on our pages.
