You can consult the collections on site or online.
Request for loans of works and reproductions
The activity of Beaux-Arts de Paris has been affected by an essential project for the collections, as part of their move to a new outsourced storage facility.
In this context, Beaux-Arts de Paris has decided to implement a moratorium on loans to enable its teams to devote themselves fully to the completion of this major project. Consequently, it is no longer possible to accept loan requests for exhibitions opening before June 2026. As the timetable for this moratorium is subject to change, we will keep you informed. Thank you for your understanding.
