definitely, and a large health)

I feel much better it would create on the basis of his collection of Museum of Russian foreign countries like France and dreams Rene Guerra. And historical justice and the collection will not get lost in the vaults of our museums. And in terms of Russia's image abroad would be far more useful to support the work of many years maintained a Frenchman of Russian culture, which inevitably would have died, in the form and where it was created. And not again shock the world millions of new purchases.

This is not a problem for Rene, it is interesting here in Russia to see his collection, but so far only works from his collection in the Tretyakov Gallery steal ..

France strongly will they be indifferent to this museum of the Russian diaspora. Earlier in France to the Russian attitude is good - but not to the Russian, who collected Mr. Guerra. Now the Russian is called a "bad press" - the former USSR narchy sympathizers has not yet digested the fall of "victorious socialism" and the present oligarchs with wild money and sometimes with the same wild manners envy, mixed with contempt.

For himself, Mr. Guerra said the reaction was not his suggestion to do something - since then nothing has changed.

Two of the existing Museum of Foreign Art in France - is the Arab World Institute and the Museum of American Art.
Establishment of the Institute of the Arab world due to the colonial past of France, the presence of a great number of immigrants from those countries (mostly - Algerians) and its financing by the Arab countries.
The existence of the Museum of American Art (located in Giverny) is also understandable, in the end, starting with 50-years. last century, the hegemony of American art can not be questioned, is not it?

Americans just do not care about France as the French in Russia
Frankly, I do not know who organized this museum, most likely, it is private. Now try to find information.

Here, found. This detsystvitelno chpstny museum, it is financed by Terra:

Museum of American Art in Giverny
History Museum

The museum was created based on the collection of Daniel J. Terra (1911 - 1996). Frenchman of Italian heritage, a chemist by profession, he must state his invention of instant drying ink. In 1940 he founded his own company (Lawter Chemicals) and earned a lot of money that allowed him to do the gathering. First, he assembled a collection of British landscapes, 18 and 19 centuries. And then became interested in American art.

Daniel J. Terra Collection reflects his personal tastes and his willingness to submit to American art outside the United States. Since 1980, when he was appointed ambassador extraordinary U.S., responsible for culture ", he devoted his life to this goal. To ensure the future of his collection, he created a fund (Terra Foundation for American Art). The first museum was opened in 1980 in Ivenstone (Illinois), later the museum's collection was divided into halves: one half in 1987, was exhibited at the Terra Museum of American Art in Chicago (now the museum is closed) and the second -- in 1992 at the Museum of American Art in Giverny.
