Mobilier national

Since the 17th century, the Mobilier National has been supporting the creative arts and crafts and is an establishment of the French Ministry of Culture. Its mission is to ensure the conservation and restoration of its collections, which are unique in the world, and to perpetuate and pass on exceptional skills. In addition to being a major center of heritage, the institution is also a major player in contemporary creation and the promotion of French decorative arts.

For more than four centuries, the Mobilier National has been supporting French craftsmanship and design on an international scale, helping to raise France's profile around the world. It promotes French excellence by developing partnerships with French institutions abroad, such as the Villa Medicis in Rome, the Villa Albertine in the United States, and the Casa de Velasquez in Madrid. It creates dialogue by setting up residency programs with the French Institutes in Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, China, and Japan. Finally, the Mobilier National promotes awareness and appreciation of French decorative arts. The Mobilier National pilots the international aspect of the national strategy in support of fine crafts, ensuring their visibility at trade fairs and shows around the world.
