Journées du Patrimoine 2025 in Paris: the Institut national d'histoire de l'art and its library (INHA)

For the 42nd edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, we're off to theInstitut national d'histoire de l'art, which is offering tours and other events all weekend long on September 20 and 21, 2025. Restored by architect Henri Labrouste in the 19th century, the former imperial library invites you to discover its two spaces: the Labrouste room and the Colbert gallery. A wonderful visit for all lovers of libraries and historical monuments!

A true architectural masterpiece, the building has been listed as a historical monument since 1983, and reopened in 2016 after several years of restoration... Access to the building, usually reserved for art history students and researchers with a reader's card, is now open to the public on the occasion of these open days. By opening its doors, the INHA is offering the public the chance to discover its research facilities, which are usually closed to visitors, and to understand how the major issues surrounding images are approached across the discipline, and what tools art historians use to carry out their research.

Why not take advantage of this new edition of the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) to discover this place that is exceptionally opening its doors to us? Discover the program below!
