Sorry to be that guy, but this site is terrible to navigate as a non-French speaker. I'm not sure it would be that great as a French speaker. I've seen online archives from other Museums that do a far better job of making their exhibits more accessible.

The ENG button on the bottom left only seems to translate basic boilerplate, not any description or other content. Browsers do a decent job of translation.

But the only thing you can do is search for stuff, there is no way to browse at all that is obvious to me. I prefer looking at Google Arts & Culture which is often well designed and photographed.

I am sure some poorly paid contractor built this site.

As a French guy. It mostly works for French speakers.

It's developed by an under-financed public service. Also, as a client, they are artists with no knowledge of accessibility and no clear view of what they need.

I would'be hoped for spanish at least. Given who the author was. I understand the circumstances are a bit meh, but still, it's a museum.
