THE
PRODUCTION
AND THE DISTRIBUTION
The exhibition is distributed by the MUSE for the promotion and cultural preservation (association law 1901 of French law).
The association supports concrete projects that respond to missions related to the preservation and promotion of innovative, original, historic cultural heritage in order to be presented to a wide audience.
It has also given itself the mission of proposing educational programs corresponding to the actions it creates.
The projects must have a strong cultural content whether they are in universes as varied as the plastic arts, photography, new pictorial or sound technologies, live performance, etc ...
The association must finance all of its projects through patronage actions.
Its mode of intervention is fundraising and management. It must create and support projects under its name and then promote corporate generosity by receiving, financing and if necessary redistributing donations.
"Muse for the promotion and cultural preservation" must allow the safeguarding of works and then present them to the public.
