La Casa de Velázquez is both a center for artistic creation and a center for research. This makes it unique among the five foreign French schools (“Écoles”) presided over by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research: the École française d’Athènes, the École française de Rome, the Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire and the École française d’Extrême-Orient. Indeed, La Casa has stood apart since its founding in 1928, welcoming both artists and researchers as part of the École des hautes études hispaniques et ibériques (EHEHI).
