Axa, patron of the arts

Published on the occasion of AXA's 40th anniversary, this book traces the history of the French international Group's philanthropic commitments.

Through numerous initiatives, AXA has long upheld core values of solidarity and social responsibility, notably through programmes aimed at promoting education and inclusion, among other causes. From the very beginning, the company has also played a key role in supporting the arts and culture.

Its commitment is reflected in the acquisition of major artworks and historically significant objects for national museums, as well as in its ongoing support for the preservation of endangered buildings and the restoration of historic monuments, key pillars of an approach deeply rooted in the company's culture.

This book tells that story, placing it in perspective through original testimonies from the key players and stakeholders in this rare and remarkable journey.
