I would like to know if conjugating here in the imparfait (existait) does not imply that the museum used to exist, but no longer does.

Why couldn't I say "as voulu" for "why did I want a dog?
Je suis un peu perdu. Pourquoi la texte utilise 'souhaitez' et pas 'souhaiteriez'? J'ai vu que cette texte traduire comme 'What time would you like this call?'
