But it is certainly a marriage made in curators' heaven. "INSPIRING WALT DISNEY The Animation of French Decorative Arts" has prompted some rave reviews in arts columns still published in real,hard--copy newspapers and magazines, and should delight visitors young and old (until 16 October 2022 open daily de dix à cinq).
