A library and a bookshop entirely dedicated to the jewelry arts

To promote education and transmission, L’ÉCOLE’s second site in Paris features a library and a bookshop dedicated to the world of jewelry.
Located in the heart of the Hôtel de Mercy-Argenteau, the library brings together some 6,000 works (ancient books, exhibition catalogues, auction catalogues, academic theses, specialized magazines and journals, etc.) accessible by appointment to readers - students, researchers and the simply curious. Three splendid rooms are reserved for the library, one of which includes a book consultation area.
