Half an hour after giving blood, this 54-year-old Alsatian wanders in a room of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMCS) in Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) with undisguised pleasure: “I'm used to it. to donate blood but this is the first time that I do so in such an unusual place!

"

Since Monday April 12 at noon, the teams of the French Blood Establishment (EFS) Grand-Est and those of MAMCS welcome the 200 donors who will follow one another throughout the day.

“It is a joy to see our museum welcoming people once again in this context of sanitary closure.

This is why I suggested to the EFS that donors can then access our permanent collection free of charge, ”explains Estelle Pietrzyk, director of MAMCS.

"A rare privilege, currently"

For Sophie Reuter, doctor responsible for EFS collections in Bas-Rhin, “the choice of the museum contributes to the success of the collection since all the niches have been taken by storm.

With the Covid-19 pandemic, 20% of the collections that we usually organize in certain places such as universities have been canceled.

Suddenly, we have to find new sites and if they can also be attractive, it is beneficial because it allows us to attract new donors.

What Florian, a 19-year-old student confirms: “I saw the announcement of this fundraising on Facebook.

This is the first time that I donate blood today and the fact that it is in a museum with the possibility of visiting it is a rare privilege currently and that is what motivated my registration.
