Description
Management committee in the museum atrium, products introduction in historic gardens, or even board of directors in the auditorium of a century-old institution... The privatization by companies of museum spaces has become in a few years a way to increase significantly the own resources of these organizations.
In the wake of corporate sponsorship rewards, the French practice of renting space in museums almost automatically excludes individuals. On the reverse, historical monuments make weddings and other family or friendly celebrations a strong focus of their privatization policy. Safety of the works of art collections, fear of overflow, political risks: the reasons for reluctance are multiple. However, things get moving and the borders between offers for businesses and individuals is no longer as clear as it was once.
To take stock of these practices and their benefit-risk gauge, this conference will adopt a Franco-American perspective. Face to face, the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon and the Chrysler Museum of Art of Norfolk (USA) will compare their policies to better understand the economic, political but also cultural issues of renting space to individuals.
