Twenty-six works of art from Benin have been exhibited since Tuesday October 26, 2021 and until Sunday October 31, 2021 at the Quai Branly museum in Paris.
Emmanuel Macron will inaugurate the exhibition this afternoon.
The French president should confirm on this occasion that the deed of transfer of works will be signed on November 9 at the Elysee Palace, in the presence of Beninese President Patrice Talon.
The parts will be transferred immediately to Cotonou.
How are the Beninese authorities preparing for this event?
Where will the 26 works be hosted in the short, medium and long term?
The Beninese Minister of Culture Jean-Michel Abimbola will participate this Wednesday in the ceremony at Quai Branly.
He is the guest of Pierre Firtion.
