From November 13, 2019 to March 16, 2020

Discover the Masterworks of Architectural Drawing from the Albertina Museum at la Cité de l’architecture & du patrimoine.

The exhibition features over a hundred drawings from the architectural collection of the Albertina Museum in Vienna. Brought together for the first time in France, these masterpieces provide insights into the history of architectural drawing from the Renaissance to the present day. The exhibition covers a period running from early 16th-century French and Italian Mannerism to late 20th-century deconstructivism, and this throughout Europe.

Drawings, because they are by nature fragile, are exhibited sparingly. This makes the presentation of these “treasures”, usually hidden away in the museum’s reserves, all the more exceptional!

Information 29th edition

Dear visitors,

Due to the gravity of the international situation resulting from the spread of COVID-19 and in order to protect the health of all parties concerned, we have decided to cancel the 29th edition of the Salon du dessin.

France officially declared a state of health emergency on 24 March for two months and there are still numerous uncertainties regarding the evolution of the pandemic over the coming months. These factors make it impossible to reprogram the Salon before the summer of 2020 and the Salon du dessin, which usually attracts numerous other events in Paris for a week, will therefore not take place this year.

Louis de Bayser, President of the Salon du dessin said “this is a difficult decision to take with regard to all those who worked hard for this edition, but our priority is to protect the health of all our exhibitors, visitors and partners”.

We send our thoughts to all those affected by this epidemic and hope that this unprecedented health situation will quickly change favorably.

The organizers of the Fair
