Opening celebrations will be held on September 5th, 2014 in the new building of Jérôme Seydoux Pathé Foundation designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop. 
The Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé is an organisation dedicated to the preservation of Pathé’s heritage, and to the promotion of cinematography. Its new headquarters sits at the centre of a block in Paris’ XIII arrondissement, where a mid-19th century theatre - transformed into one of Paris’ first cinemas in the mid-1900s, radically transformed again in the 1960s - once stood.
The project includes the restoration of the façade facing the avenue des Gobelins, including sculptural decorations done by a young Auguste Rodin. An opening in the elevation reveals the transparent lower floor of the new facility, and a garden beyond.
