Crafts & Restorations, Museums & Art Centres
The Galerie des Gobelins' collections consist of around 200,000 pieces. It is part of the Mobilier National, a former furniture storage unit for the monarchy, created in 1663 by Louis XIV and Colbert, which is in charge of the furniture of the official palaces of the Republic: Palais de l'Elsyée, ministeries...

The Manufacture Nationale des Gobelins, whose history dates back to the 15th century, has occupied the current site since the 17th century, whereas its production in the workshops never stops.

Since 1937, the two entities, as well as the manufactures of Beauvais (tapestries) and Savonnerie (carpets), are grouped together on the historic site of the Gobelins.
