Menton Refuses to Return Cocteau's Works to The Wunderman Foundation-Museum

In Menton, the Cocteau Museum has been closed since it was flooded in 2018. The Wunderman Foundation, which donated nearly 2,000 works by the poet, painter, and illustrator to the city, feels aggrieved and is demanding their return. The mayor categorically rejects this prospect. Artworks created by French poet, artist and film maker Jean Cocteau are displayed in the new Jean Cocteau Collection at the Severin Wundermann Museum on December 23, 2011 in Menton, France.
