France’s Erstwhile ‘Museum Of The Colonies’ Is Now Led By The Son Of A Senegalese Immigrant

“Pap Ndiaye, a historian and academic of Senegalese and French descent, was last month appointed to revitalize the Palais de la Porte Dorée — an institution that was born as the Museum of the Colonies in 1931, and that now houses the Tropical Aquarium and the National Museum of the History of Immigration. … The question is whether he can turn around an institution with a problematic legacy and the sensitive mission of telling the story of France’s immigrants.” – The New York Times
