This chapel is the only remaining building of the Couvent des Petits-Augustins, founded at the beginning of the 17th century, by Queen Marguerite de Valois. From 1795, it housed the Musée des Monuments Français. In 1816, it was assigned to the École des Beaux-Arts, heiress to the Royal Academies. The chapel preserves remarkable casts of French and Italian works, from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for the training of young artists.

At the crossroads of several fields - history of art, history of science and popular culture - this unique work brings together more than 500 illustrations.
