The Beaux-Arts de Paris, heirs of the Royal Academies of Painting and Sculpture, is both a place of training and artistic experimentation, a place of exhibition and conservation of historical and contemporary collections and a publishing house. Located in an exceptional site of more than two hectares in the heart of Paris, close to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the establishment presents a condensed architecture, from the seventeenth with the Augustin chapel, to the twentieth century with the building signed Auguste Perret.
From the 19th century to May 1968, from academicism to the avant-garde, the Beaux-Arts de Paris have been witnesses and actors of their time for 200 years.
