INHA Library to Stay Open in August Amid Summer Closure Debate

The library at the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art (INHA) will remain open throughout August 2026, reversing a previously contested summer closure plan. This decision follows a change in leadership at the institution, though the closure measure had been on the agenda despite earlier opposition. In related campus news, the Artem campus in Nancy has implemented a curfew and closed its gallery to the public after incidents of vandalism and violence. Meanwhile, a new training center for artisanal trades has opened in the Eure department, offering aspiring goldsmiths a third national option for education. Additionally, Stéphane Sauzedde has been reappointed as head of the Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR) in Strasbourg-Mulhouse by its board of directors. These developments highlight ongoing institutional adjustments in French art education and heritage sectors.
