At the entrance of the 1937 Palace of the colonies, now turned into a history museum, this boat by Barthelemy Toguo seems ready to leave. Just behind, workers are busy preparing for Francois Hollande’s visit and grand speech on immigration on the 15th.
‘Road to exile’, 2008, is only one of several contemporary artworks in the museum reminding of the many many artists that have come to work and live in Paris from all over the world and continue to enrich its culture.
