AFMO was begun by American citizens who recognized the contribution made by the Musée d’Orsay to American museums and to the American public. In 2008, following a highly successful collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and the Musée d’Orsay, Guy Cogeval, the new Président of the Orsay, and Olivier Simmat, Director of International Relations and Development, voiced their enthusiastic support for the formation of an “American Friends.”
