The National Institute for Art History (INHA) is an institution of higher education and research French, recognized as great institution , created and governed by decree ^No. 2001-621 of 12 July 2001.

It is located in Paris , the Galerie Colbert , Passage Vivienne, near the Bibliothque nationale de France (site Richelieu).

History

The INHA fills a certain gap in the world of French research, since there were relatively few universities in the area and where the teams were dispersed. To remedy this situation, since 1973 , Jacques Thuillier suggested to Georges Pompidou creating this type of institute. However, at this moment, the suggestion was never acted upon. In 1983 , the idea is repeated, with greater success, as Andr Chastel is mandated to make proposals accordingly. This report introduces a long series of studies and reports, all going generally in the direction of creating such an institute, but with variations. In 1986 , an association already bearing the name of National Institute of history of art is created under the chairmanship of the art historian Antoine Schnapper. A report commissioned Marc Fornacciari, which sees an institute as a service for research. On the sidelines of an international congress of history of art, which was held in Strasbourg , Jack Lang announced the birth of the International Institute for Art History in Paris. From 1990 , the prospect of a move of the National Library allows to consider the reuse of its space to install the institute, which is coupled to a National Art Library. A report, told Michel Melot , goes in this direction. Late 1991 , the government is moving towards the establishment of two separate entities, the International Institute for Art History on the one hand, whose forerunner has been entrusted to Pierre Encrev and the National Art Library, on the other hand. At the end of 1992 , we are moving towards creating an international center of art history consists of the Institute and the Library mentioned above, which enlist the school's national heritage. In the same time, Franois Fossier and Franoise Benhamou also publish reports detailing the operation of the future library, which would bring together various existing libraries (which were eventually included), but also the specialized departments of the National Library.

In 1993, while Jacques Doucet library moved physically on the future site of the institute, while staying temporarily in status Interuniversity Jack Lang calls for the creation of a public administrative institution under the name of International Institute of art history. The State Council issued a negative opinion, noting that legislation is needed to create this type of establishment, leading J. Lang quit. In 1994, the government of Edouard Balladur load Michel Laclotte released a new report on the situation. An agreement is signed with the Louvre Museum to assist in the permanent constitution of the institute, whose definitive name is adopted.

The combination of foreshadowing is created by 1995. The years 1995 and 1996 are marked by the various tasks entrusted to Michel Laclotte, that help clarify certain aspects of projects. The last ministerial and inter-offs are made in 1997 and 1998 , even though the institute, which is still at the "association of foreshadowing, '" is already beginning its work. Indeed, the website will open in January 1998 and the first research projects were launched in April. Professor Alain Schnapp was appointed to head the association. In 1999 , the Institute organized the first scientific events.
