The article by Jérôme Kohler explores the complementary role of private patronage and public policies in supporting French cultural exception. The term « cultural exception » refers to the unique cultural and artistic influence of France, supported by a favourable tax system for cultural works, cultural spending in tourism, and the existence of a Ministry of Culture. France has one of the most generous tax systems in the world for patronage and philanthropy, which works in tandem with public policies to protect and promote French culture both domestically and internationally. The Louvre Museum is highlighted as an example of this, benefiting from significant private donations and patronage, which contribute to its international exhibitions, foreign conservator hosting, and educational programs. The Louvre also extends its cultural ambassador role through its American association, American Friends of the Louvre, which has enabled the creation of the Louvre Endowment Fund targeting built heritage and gardens, opening and transmission policies for all audiences, and the itinerancy of collections.
