The 24th Antiques & Arts Paris Biennale cultivates the art of living

Organised by the Syndicat National des Antiquaires (SNA - French National Union of Antique Dealers) since the original event in 1956, the 24th Biennial will take place from 11 to 21 September 2008, at the Grand Palais in Paris.

The Biennale, a red-letter rendezvous for the arts market, features a wide range of specialities presented by internationally acclaimed professionals in the fields of Antiques, the Fine Arts and Jewellery. They are all SNA members and are selected from the world’s finest antique and art dealers. They meet the exacting quality standards set by the SNA, thereby upholding a code of honour shared by all professionals with respect to customers and colleagues alike.

Since the Grand Palais re-opened in 2006, after refurbishing work that further enhanced this monument to French architecture, the Biennale has finally returned and settled at its original showcase venue.

The public opening was preceded by a special preview evening attracting many art enthusiasts, and a gala dinner, the profits from which were wholly donated to the Fondation des Hôpitaux de Paris – Hôpitaux de France, a foundation chaired by Madame Jacques Chirac.
