A Jewish art museum will be set up in Paris with the help of the Ministry for Culture and the Paris municipality. Cultural Affairs Minister Jack Long told the National Assembly that his department will cover the museum’s operating costs and is currently negotiating to help its creation. Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac had earlier announced that the municipal council is prepared to put at the museum’s disposal the Hotel de Saint-Aignan, a historic building situated near the traditional Jewish “Pletzel.”
