In line with its educational mission, L'ÉCOLE has naturally sought to partner with various additional cultural projects. It has therefore embarked on partnerships that reassert its commitment to traditional and innovative savoir-faire and creativity. Partnerships in France and Japan bear witness to L'ÉCOLE’s basic missions: spreading culture, transmission and education.
MUSEUM SPONSORSHIP
Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris)
The Jewelry Gallery displays 1,200 pieces of jewelry that offer an exceptional panorama of the history of jewelry from the Middle Ages to the present day.
It offers a remarkable illustration of the mission of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs: encouraging the access and understanding of its collections among the widest possible audience. With the same emphasis on education, L'ÉCOLE is supporting publications about the Museum’s jewelry collection. In October 2016 a first book, Flora, was published, followed by Fauna in September 2017 and Figures & Faces in March 2018.
