The INHA library will remain open in August

La bibliothèque de l’INHA restera ouverte en août

The National Institute for Art History (INHA) has announced that its library, located in the Labrouste Room in Paris, will remain open throughout the month of August. This decision breaks from the traditional summer closure common among major French academic and research institutions, ensuring uninterrupted access to one of the world's largest collections of art history resources.

This move is a significant win for researchers, students, and visiting scholars who often rely on the summer months to conduct intensive archival work. By maintaining operations during the peak holiday season, the INHA reinforces its commitment to accessibility and its role as a central hub for global art historical research.
