Bibliothèque Paul Marmottan

Boulogne-Billancourt, France

The Bibliothèque Marmottan (French pronunciation: [biblijɔtɛk maʁmɔtɑ̃]), located in the Parisian suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt, is a public library bequeathed in 1932 to the Académie des Beaux-Arts by its founder Paul Marmottan. Dedicated to the First French Empire and open to readers interested in this period, it contains some 25,000 books and periodicals, making it one of the largest Napoleonic libraries in the world. While it regularly hosts scholars in residence, it will also, from 2023, have three apartments for artists whose work will be presented in the exhibition rooms.
