At the invitation of the Biennale des Antiquaires, the state hermitage museum, le mobilier national, and the fondation de la haute horlogerie present three special exhibitions. Henri Loyrette, President of the Biennale, and Dominique Chevalier, President of the Syndicat des Antiquaires (SNA), together with the Biennale Committee – comprised of five members of the SNA council office and nine experts – are pleased to present special programming for the 2016 Biennale des Antiquaires.

Comprised of two public collections – one of French prestige, the other international – and the mobilization of larger luxury watch houses via the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, the 2016 Biennale will offer three exhibitions of distinct cultural and aesthetic experience. Greeted by a spectacular scenography by Nathalie Crinière, collectors and visitors, in addition to discovering the masterpieces, jewelry, and selected objects on display, can also explore three unprecedented exhibitions in the history of the Biennale from Le Mobilier National in France, Russia’s State Hermitage Museum, and the Fondation de la Haute Hologerie in Switzerland.

A total of 124 galleries from 14 countries confirmed their participation.
