| You can explore the collection here[2] it seems.

| Sorry to be that guy, but this site is terrible to navigate as a

| French speaker. I've seen online archives from other Museums that
| do a far better job of making their exhibits more accessible.

| As a French guy. It mostly works for French speakers.
|
| It's developed by an under-financed public service. Also, as a
| client, they are artists with no knowledge of accessibility and
| no clear view of what they need.

| The ENG button on the bottom left only seems to translate basic

|
| But the only thing you can do is search for stuff, there is no
| way to browse at all that is obvious to me. I prefer looking at
| Google Arts & Culture which is often well designed and
| photographed.
|
| I am sure some poorly paid contractor built this site.
