Rumours on Artnet and The Local have fuelled speculation regarding the future of French museum collections following a recently-released parliamentary report.

The auction house Sotheby’s is in favour of moving towards the model used in the United States where institutions are able to sell surplus elements of their collection, in favour of renewing and revitalising existing collections.According to The Local, some 250,000 artworks in the Louvre in Paris are not currently displayed.
