Which cultural institution did Mitterrand not create during his presidency?

  • Louvre Pyramid

  • Grande Arche

  • Opéra Bastille

  • Bibliothèque Nationale de France

Answer

While Mitterrand was a strong promoter of culture and implemented many "Grands Projets," the Louvre Pyramid was not one of them. It was designed by architect I.M. Pei and completed in 1989, but the project was initiated by Mitterrand's predecessor, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.
