I AM A : What was the idea behind setting up Shop At the Museum ?
Virginie : During my travels all around the world, I love visiting all the museums' gift shops. I always thought how great it will be if we can find all of them in one place! Et voilà!
I AM A : Which museum is your favourite ?
Virginie : Le Musée de la vie Romantique ... so parisian :)
I AM A : Which museum gift store is your favourite ?
Virginie : Shop At The Museum www.shopatthemuseum.fr , because I can see and shop all the products from all my favourite museum shops!
I AM A : Soon it will be Christmas. What's the most important Christmas tradition for you ?
Virginie : Eating gingerbread and Christmas star biscuits!
I AM A : For picking gifts, what are important things you think about / features in gifts that you look for ?
Virginie : The designers, the illustrators. If the person who created the product have a good soul... it will be a good gift for sure.

I AM A : If someone want to startup a business what will be your key advice to them ?
