This collection has been classified as a work of major heritage interest by the French National Treasures Commission in order to facilitate its acquisition.
For companies, under the provisions of Law 2002-5 of 4 January 2002 relating to museums in France, the tax reduction is equal to 90% of the amount of a donation made in cash, up to a limit of 50% of the corporation tax due (only for the financial year in which the donation was made). In addition, the Château offers 5% in direct compensation (provision of space, tours, entrance fees, visibility, etc.).
Private individuals wishing to participate in its acquisition are entitled to the usual advantage of 66%.
The collection has been divided into 7 coherent lots in order to make it easier to find patrons. 3 lots have already been acquired thanks to the ‘Des Sèvres pour Fontainebleau’ operation launched in 2016 at the Aveline Gallery.
