France’s well-known fan-making museum could soon disappear. The Musee de l’Eventail may soon be the cultural world’s latest coronavirus victim. The museum is in Paris. It has until January 23 to pay over $142,000. The organization could not make enough money while shut down because of coronavirus restrictions. It has been unable to pay the money necessary for the use of its building. If the museum closes, the knowledge of its workshop will be lost. The workshop teaches people how to make and repair hand-held fans. Anne Hoguet, age 74, is the museum’s director. She recently spoke to the Associated Press (AP), describing the news as a tragedy. A tragedy is a very bad event that causes great sadness. Hoguet said, I can’t believe Parisians will let a part of their heritage die.
