Have you always dreamed of entering the Institute and joining the academicians? To cross the shadows of Victor Hugo, Simone Veil or Louis Pasteur? Or more simply to push the doors overhanging the mysterious dome at the other end of the art bridge? Come and cross the threshold of the Palais de l'Institut de France! You will discover the five Academies that work there, the Académie française, the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres, the Académie des sciences, the Académie des beaux-arts and the Académie des sciences morales et politiques. You can meet the academicians present and get their dedications. You will be dazzled by the beauty of the place, the Mazarine library, the library of the Institut de France, and the meeting rooms of the academicians as well as the Coupole. Your journey will end with the exhibition in tribute to Vladimir Veličković at the Comtesse de Caen Pavilion.
We will also be happy to share the rich life of the Institut de France, by presenting our bookshop, France Mémoire, the mission in charge of national commemorations, Canal Academies and its thousands of audio programs as well as the service of educational actions. For families, a playbook will be distributed to children.
