Guimet research plan 2026 2030

Conclusion

of the research

plan

This document , we hope , will have shed light on the f ive - year trajectory of the Musée

Guimet and its Villa . As you can see , the aim here is to def ine the strategic axes of

research in its thematic perimeters in connection with the collections . Associated

with this challenge , it was also appropriate , in this f irst f ive - year plan set up by the

museum , to set the first stages in the organization of research resources

( documentation of collections , scientif ic archives and tools for access to these

resources ) .

In order to enable the Villa Guimet to become this place of scientif ic inf luence ,

a real crossroads for meetings , gestation and dissemination of research on Asian

arts , it is also essential to organize the implementation of the partnership policy ,

as well as the reception of researchers at the Villa ( call for applications for research

contracts from 6 months to 3 years ) and residencies of international curators and

researchers ( from 1 to 3 months ) .

Finally , in order to promote the results of research , through the organization of public

seminars , colloquia and publications , the Villa Guimet gives itself the f irst year to

propose a clear and visible policy to all types of audiences .

This ambitious plan requires appropriate funding . We are indeed in the logic of a

contract of objectives to which it is necessary to associate human and f inancial

resources . The public establishment , through its annual operating budget , already

contributes to this , through its human resources , its work to put the collections

online and through the restoration and digitisation of certain collections .

In addition , the development of research programmes , the hosting of researchers ,

the digitisation of documentary collections and photographic collections , as well

as the promotion of research will also necessarily be based on patronage whether

it wishes to promote and encourage knowledge in the f ield of Asian arts or whether

it is a question of foundations dedicated to this f ield The Villa Guimet will also

respond to calls for projects if necessary international to f inance operations related

to its program
