The collections hold more than two thousand paintings, with the broad chronological spectrum reflecting the rich history of Beaux-Arts de Paris.

The collection includes a number of objects whose disparate nature reflects the diversity of sources of inspiration brought together for the young artists. The objets d’art and furniture mainly come from the furnishings of the Royal Academy, or from the donation made by the decorator Claude-Aimé Chenavard.

Le Trois Cinq Friedland - a cultural program signed by Sisley - gives carte blanche to Alexandre Lenoir, a graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2016, represented since last March by the Almine Rech Gallery. The artist's paintings are characterized by large formats that suggest a physical relationship in their realization as much as in their perception. The event is part of the "OFF" Program of the FIAC 2020.
