The gallery, partly funded by the French government :
is a statement which underlines its desire to be in the forefront of engaging

from culture to politics.....

President Francois Hollande attended a VIP gathering to mark the week of the
gallery's opening, he said:
" The honour of Islamic civilisations is older,
more vibrant and more tolerant
than some of those who pretend to be speaking in their name today."
