Official: Le Musee Jije Not Finished

Following up on a story from last week about the selling of the building housing Le Musee Jije, a sale that was tracked down in part by seeing a real estate ad that feature rooms furnished with museum items: museum official Francois Deneyer denied that the museum would necessarily close as a result of the sale. In an interview run on the Actua BD site, Deneyer seemed tot indicate that the museum might still have a window in which to secure long sought-after funding, and if not, may consider moving to another location.

With the Angouleme prize nominations announced and being argued over, European comics press was filled with little, interesting stories the past few days. A series of comics-related television shows to run with Angouleme was announced. Two major French-language comics publishing jobs remain at last notice very open. I also liked this mention of an annual original art auction to benefit a political group (poster for auction at left), as that seems like a really sensible fund-raiser that perhaps could be replicated here.
