“Yesterday’s Heritage, Tomorrow’s Treasures”

Natixis’ cultural sponsorship aims to make French and international treasures available to the greater public.

Natixis’ commitment to culture

Since 2004, Natixis has worked to preserve major works of art and to make them accessible to the greater public. It has helped finance the acquisition of national treasures, set up a database, and promoted the study, restoration and public exhibit of priceless works of art.

In 2011, Natixis continues to work with two major institutions:

- The Musée d'Orsay, by supporting the museographic reorganization of the Impressionist Gallery,

- The Orchestre de Paris by sponsoring its Asia Tour.
