In collaboration with the Conseil des maisons de vente, the Ecole du Louvre offers four weeks of theoretical and practical classes for each of the two years of work experience which need to be completed before taking the entrance exam to the auctioneer profession.
This course, composed each year of three weeks of classes and a week of study travel, allows students to deepen their knowledge of art history, in areas of creation which are little covered during a traditional course but often illustrated in the auction room. The lectures given at the Ecole du Louvre are followed by practical work in small groups in different museums, galleries or cultural establishments.
- Admission conditions
This course is exclusively for auctioneer interns after they passed the entrance exam for the internship which takes place every year in September.
