With France's theatres and museums shut down since Oct 30, TikTok's local office has launched its first live programme of cultural events in partnership with prestigious institutions such as the Versailles Palace, the Chaillot Theater, the Army Museum and the Cinematheque Francaise.

The roster of events, all of which are reimagined for and viewable on TikTok, kicked off Dec 14 under the hashtag #CultureTikTok. They showcased an exhibit about legendary French comedian Louis de Funes at the Cinematheque; a tour of the Picasso Museum; an original show at the Chaillot Theater of National Dance; the Cite Internationale de la BD et de l'Image (Comic Book Museum); a tour of Versailles Palace, including the famous Glass Gallery; the Quai Branly Museum; and the Army Museum, which hosts the tomb of Napoleon.
