Comments:

Reopened in 2007, the Galerie des Gobelins hosts exhibitions.

Knowing that one square meter of tapestry takes a year on a vertical loom called 'high warp', we understand the respect imposed per these tapestries.

It is possible to apply to study at the Centre National des Arts Plastiques (same address as the Gobelins one) for anyone between 16 and 23 years and having passed the Brevet des Colleges.
studies last 4 years and students are paid from the 2nd year. For more information, contact the Training Delegation of the General Administration of the National Furniture & Manufactures (+33 (0)1-44-08-52-00).

Jehan Gobelin came from the region of Champagne to start a dyeing business in 1440's.
In 1662, Colbert and Louis XIV are making from it an institution that will have had an impressive international reputation.
