DAP (Délégation aux Arts Plastiques / Department of Visual Arts).
The Délégation aux Arts Plastiques (DAP) is a representative body within the French Ministry of Culture of Culture and Communication. Its mission is to contribute to the elaboration of a national policy for the visual arts. The DAP works to implement the government's visual arts policy through the promotion and support of the regional organisations and public institutions within its remit, and to evaluate their results. The DAP promotes contemporary creative work, and public awareness of contemporary art in all its forms: painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing, photography, fashion, design and new media.
The DAP is responsible for overall project management and co-ordination of MONUMENTA, in collaboration with the CNAP and the RMN.

RMN (Réunion des Musées Nationaux)
The Réunion des Musées Nationaux (RMN) was established in 1895 to collect and manage funds for the acquisition of works of art for the French national collections. At its outset, the RMN incorporated just four national institutions: the Louvre, the palace of Versailles, the Musée du Luxembourg and the palace of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Today, the RMN works with 34 institutions throughout France. Since 1990, the RMN has operated as an EPIC (a national public institution with a degree of operational, commercial and financial autonomy), under the remit of the Ministry of Culture and Communication (the Direction des Musées de France). Together with the CNAP, the RMN is a co-producer of the MONUMENTA series, responsible for the management of the exhibition space, public services and amenities, and technical works at the Grand Palais.
