ABOUT US

Paris Art Studies

Paris art studies was founded in 2007 as a new cultural and teaching venue for the English- speaking community of Paris and visitors to the city.

 

Its objective was to provide a year-long comprehensive program of lectures on the history of Paris and French art. Participants examine in detail and in depth the painting, sculpture, architecture, and design of one of the world’s greatest artistic cities, center of culture and civilization from the Middle Ages to the present.

 

One of the aims of the program was to familiarize the student with the great number of museums of the city and the wealth and variety of their permanent collections. Another important objective was to cover the most important temporary exhibitions held all year-long in the Paris museums and exhibition venues.
