2024 guest
Le plus grand musée de France
We are pleased to welcome this year at FAB Paris Le Plus Grand Musée de France, a sponsorship campaign by the Foundation La Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, conducted since 2013 by students across the entire country.
The Foundation La Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, a non-profit organization, has been dedicating for over a century to preserving and promoting the arts and heritage assets of our local communities, which serve as real open-air museums.
It comes to the rescue of buildings and works of art accessible to all free of charge, rallying a network of correspondents rooted in the heart of the regions and through the expertise of specialists in architecture and art history.

Since 2013, La Sauvegarde has given every French citizen the opportunity to actively participate in preserving and restoring their local movable heritage through its Le Plus Grand Musée de France campaign.
This endeavor invites and supports civil society, particularly young people, to discover and reclaim this shared heritage, to better appreciate it, and pass it on to future generations, while challenging social barriers to cultural access.
The growth of this program is ensured by the invaluable commitment of our benefactors and the essential fundraising efforts for its success.

After being sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture and supported by the Association of French Mayors and the French National Commission of UNESCO, the initiative received the high patronage of the President of the French Republic.
Because heritage is everyone’s business, FAB Paris is delighted to lend its support and provide a showcase for these young students who are helping to rediscover and safeguard our shared heritage.
