The Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé was launched in 2006, but the building that houses it opened in 2014. Behind the facade sculpted by Auguste Rodin around 1869, architect Renzo Piano built a five-storey shell covered with 5,000 protective shutters. This is where the Foundation's headquarters are located, where numerous researchers work to preserve and make available to the public the historical heritage of the Pathé company, one of the very first companies dedicated to cinema. The Foundation invites Parisians to discover its history during the Journées du Patrimoine, on Saturday September 20 and Sunday September 21, 2025.
