The Textile Museum: A Frayed Project

Le Musée des tissus, un projet décousu

The renovation and expansion of the Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs in Lyon has stalled despite being acquired by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region seven years ago. Although architect Rudy Ricciotti revised his initial designs to satisfy local urban planning requirements and resident concerns, the project faces significant delays, with no building permit filed and a fluctuating budget that recently dropped from 60 million to 32 million euros. Tensions between the regional leadership and the City of Lyon have further complicated the timeline, leaving the museum closed to the public for four years.

At the INHA, the summer closure of the library revives the debate

À l’INHA, la fermeture estivale de la bibliothèque ravive le sujet

The National Institute for Art History (INHA) in Paris has sparked controversy by moving to make its two-week summer closure in August a permanent policy. Originally introduced as an exception for the 2024 Olympics and subsequent renovations, the closure is now being institutionalized despite a petition from staff and researchers. Management cites employee well-being, organizational maintenance, and equity across departments as justifications, while critics argue the move masks chronic understaffing and budget cuts.

At the INHA, the summer closure of the library revives the debate

À l’INHA, la fermeture estivale de la bibliothèque ravive le sujet

The National Institute for Art History (INHA) in Paris is facing backlash over its decision to implement a permanent two-week summer closure of its library every August. Originally introduced as a temporary measure during the 2024 Olympics and subsequent renovations, the closure is now being formalized by the administration despite a change in leadership. Staff and researchers have launched a petition, arguing that August is a critical period for international scholars and students who rely on the library’s extensive collections.
