THE NATIONAL COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS
It is with emotion that we pass the porch of this venerable school. Established in 1816 on its current site, the school now extends into a series of buildings dating from the th to the th centuries. It includes the old convent of the Convent des Petit-Augustins and the hotel de Chimay. This institution offers a higher education of European renown (painting, engraving, sculpture, plastic arts…), but also exhibitions on various themes. They are organised in specific rooms and the chapel, which overlooks the courtyard of the Mulberry; it is the former convent cloister that was restored in neo-antique style in the th century.

Les tenants de l'art intuitif, spontané et autodidacte, les ennemis de l'enseignement académique et les partisans des "installations" , ont après mai 68 , saccagé les lieux avec une furie digne de la révolution culturelle de Mao.
La bibliothèque est à voir, figée une fois pour toute dans les années 1850, électricité et ordinateurs en plus.
Le fonds du musée, constitué par les œuvres les plus marquantes des élèves concourant pour le prix de Rome, est remarquable mais malheureusement ouvert qu'aux spécialistes.
