The teams at Beaux-Arts de Paris were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of Sylvain Amic, President of the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie, on August 31. Sylvain Amic was a passionate professional who believed strongly in the social and democratic role of museums.This is deeply sad news that affects us particularly.
We have a wonderful relationship with the teams at the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie, with whom we regularly develop projects that bring our two institutions together and give our young artists the opportunity to be involved in the museums' programming and audiences.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and our colleagues at the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie.
