The Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, abbreviated CNAM and in English the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts, is a public grande école and grand établissement of France. It was one of the founding schools of the grande école system in 1794, along with the cole polytechnique and the cole normale supérieure, and was founded by the French bishop Henri Grégoire. Its term arts et métiers refers to the practical arts and the study of industrial skills, techniques and design, and it has historically focused on applied science and engineering. It is headquartered in Paris and has campuses across France and abroad. In this atlas it appears as the institution in Paris to which Joseph Marie Jacquard was summoned and attached in 1803, and where Vaucanson's loom that inspired his improvements was kept.
