Nuit des Musées brings the whole of Paris to life, including the 13th arrondissement. If you're in the area, be sure to take a stroll down the Avenue des Gobelins, to visit the Mobilier National - Manufacture des Gobelins. This public establishment is the furniture repository of the French Republic: its mission is to furnish the country's official buildings, such as ministries and the Palais de l'Elysée. It is also responsible for the conservation, restoration and creation of crafts related to tapestry, furniture, woodwork, decoration, etc.

The Mobilier National conserves pieces and objets d'art dating from the 16th century to the present day, and sometimes exhibits these treasures in its Gobelins gallery. The Nuit des Musées is the perfect opportunity to visit this unique Parisian venue, and find out what's new at the institution.
