Espace Dalì in Paris reopens with virtual tour supported by Honor

Espace Dalì in Paris offered a one-hour virtual guided tour of its collection of over 300 works by Salvador Dalì on June 5, 2020, streamed live on @honorglobal. The tour was led by Pascal Gauzes, the museum's communications director, ahead of the gradual reopening of French cultural sites between mid and late June. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, engravings, objects, and furniture, with works such as 'Lady Godiva with Butterflies,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' and 'The Nobility of Time' displayed in the Montmartre palace. The event was part of the Honor Academy Program, an initiative by Honor, a Huawei-owned brand, to support young people's productivity, skills, and creativity through partnerships with online learning platforms and cultural institutions. Honor provided the live-streaming technology for the tour. The partnership highlights the increasing reliance of museums on private support amid economic difficulties exacerbated by the pandemic. The article notes that the program's formula remains somewhat vague and risks homogenization.
