PARIS: France has announced the largest cultural budget in the country’s history amid falling museum attendance, which is linked to a drop in tourism resulting from last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris.
French minister for culture and communication Audrey Azoulay pledged to increase government funding for culture in 2017 by 6.6%, to €2.9 billion ($3.2 billion). Azoulay also announced that a cross-ministerial fund would set aside money to bolster the security infrastructure of French museums.
