“The former state funeral parlour at 104 rue d’Aubervilliers in north-east Paris will reopen this weekend after being transformed into the city’s most daring modern arts centre. […] Not only are Parisians attracted by the macabre past of the building – known only by its street number, Centquatre – the centre will also bring artists and tourists into the 19th arrondissement best known for its high-rises, poverty and gang culture.”
