Registration for the Drawing Week programme is now open!
The Salon du Dessin would not be the Salon du Dessin without the multitude of cultural events that take place on the sidelines, foremost among which is Drawing Week.
The programme includes private tours of current exhibitions and special visits to graphic art studios linked to a particular theme, such as the International Symposium on the Materiality of Drawing.
The Drawing Week invites you to visit more than fifteen museums and institutions: the Musée de l’Armée – Invalides, the BnF, the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée Gustave Moreau, the Musée Jean-Jacques Henner, the Emile Hermès Collection, the INHA, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Musée de Montmartre, the Fondation des Artistes, the Petit Palais, the Académie des Beaux-Arts, the Mazarine and Institut libraries, the Musée Condé – Château de Chantilly, the Cognacq-Jay Museum, the Royal Domain of Marly Museum and the Museum of Romantic Life.
These private tours, organised by curators and museum directors, are free of charge and available only by reservation, subject to availability.
Registration is now open and can only be made on the Salon du Dessin website. You may register for a maximum of two events.
