LES AMIS FROM MUSEE D ORSAY
The general assembly was held on May 10th.
Several points were discussed:
- Acquisitions: the year 2011 has been a really good one, specially thanks to the charity diner. From 47 580€ in
2010, we gave works to the museum for a total amount of 120 66 €. The main purchase is an oil painting by
Daumier, Les bûcherons.
- Visits and trips: thanks to the collaboration of many curators and lecturers, the year totalizes 26 visits, 5 daytrips, 3 lectures, 2 parties and a trip to Berlin in April.
- Web site: to make the subscription and activities payment easier, an online system has been settled.
- 2013 Subscription rates: the subscription rates will not change in 2013.
