Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé, Cinema museum in 13th arrondissement, France
The Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé is a cinema museum in the 13th arrondissement of Paris dedicated to film collections and archives. The building, designed by architect Renzo Piano, houses screening facilities, research spaces, and extensive historical records related to film production.
The foundation was established in 2006 to preserve the legacy of the Pathé company, which began producing films in 1896 and became a pioneer in early cinema. The company played a major role in bringing filmmaking and distribution to a global audience.
The screening room with 68 seats presents silent films accompanied by live musicians, recreating how audiences experienced cinema in its early days. Visitors witness the original way these films were meant to be watched and heard.
The venue offers both public film screenings and access to archives and a research library, though archive access requires advance scheduling. Plan your visit according to screening times and reserve archival access ahead if you want to explore the collections.
The building's facade incorporates sculpted elements by Auguste Rodin that originally belonged to a theater that once stood on this site. This architectural detail connects the location's past with the work of one of France's most celebrated sculptors.
