The BNP Paribas Foundation helps support the publication of albums illustrating the cultural wealth of museum collections, also providing support for the restoration of their masterpieces.

At the same time, the BNP Paribas Foundation attaches particular attention to contemporary artistic expression, providing assistance for creators in disciplines that rarely benefit from corporate funding, such as contemporary dance, new circus arts and jazz. Finally, it contributes to the discovery of rare or unpublished musical works, encourages the emergence of young performers, and attempts to widen the public of the classical and contemporary repertory.
