Beaux-Arts de Paris is taking part in the European Heritage Days 2025. Come and discover our listed buildings and the treasures they contain!

An exceptional day to discover the School's emblematic sites on a guided or self-guided tour: Cour d'Honneur, Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, Cour du mûrier, Amphithéâtre d'Honneur and the Library.

Beaux-Arts de Paris, heir to the Royal Academies of Painting and Sculpture, is at once a place of artistic training and experimentation, an exhibition and conservation center for historical and contemporary collections, and a publishing house. Set in an exceptional two-hectare site in the heart of Paris, just a stone's throw from Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the establishment boasts a condensed architectural heritage, from the 17th-century Chapelle des Petits-Augustins to the 20th-century Auguste Perret building.

Looped screening of Jessica Warboys' film ANTIGONES NET, partly shot in the Petits-Augustins chapel on the occasion of its exhibition at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2023.

Jessica Warboys' film ANTIGONES NET was born of the artist's chance encounter with the play Antigone by French playwright Jean Anouilh.
Antigone, a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles (440 BC), tells the story of Oedipus' daughter, a young woman who deliberately disobeys a direct order from the king, her uncle, knowing the fatal consequences that would follow. Over the centuries, Antigone has continued to be rewritten and performed, inspiring contemporary culture, philosophy and psychoanalysis with a complex reading of politics, desire, gender, resistance and punishment. Shot in a variety of locations, including the Beaux-Arts chapel in Paris in 2023, ANTIGONES NET is a constellation of faceted characters, including Joan of Arc, Queen Margot and Rrose Sélavy.
With the support of Gaudel de Stampa gallery.
