celles qui vous enrichissent et vous font chaud au cœur.

My question concerns the imparfait conjugation of the verb 'exister' in the sentence:
Aussi, lorsque j'ai appris qu'il existait un musée qui...
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. I am inclined to want to conjugate 'exister' in present tense to get around this problem, yet I know its gramatically incorrect to do so. If someone can help, I would greatly appreciate.

In English I think I'd be more likely to vocalise 2+2 = 4 as "two plus two is four" than either "equals" or "makes". Would saying "deux plus deux est quatre" sound odd in French?
