Gérard Audinet, director of the Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris, is retiring. In a new podcast episode of "L'invité de La Tribune de l'Art," he discusses the history of the museum, its collections, the Maison de Victor Hugo in Guernsey, and the acquisitions and exhibitions he oversaw during his tenure.
This matters because Audinet's departure marks the end of an era for a key literary and historical museum in Paris. His reflections offer insight into the stewardship of a cultural institution dedicated to Victor Hugo, and the episode signals the return of podcast content from La Tribune de l'Art after a year-long hiatus, re-engaging the art and heritage community.
