"Fiskeboller i karri" places itself in the context of museums and exhibitions looking at immigration as positive influence in a society. Interkulturelt Museum in Oslo has just gotten a sister in Paris, Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration.
The opening has been low key, mirroring the problematic topic in french society. From 60° 24' N 5° 19' E we salute the project and all other projects aimed at making our world a friendlier one!
"Le Monde yesterday praised the museum and beseeched France to acknowledge the role of immigration in its history. "This museum bears witness that 'French identity' exists, but it has always been mixed," the paper said.
Hélène Lafont-Couturier, the museum's director, told the Guardian she hoped the museum would allow the nation to face "an important part of its history which it has preferred to hide from"." (posted at WorldHum.com by Eva Holland)
