[2] Today, it houses the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Versailles and the workshops of the Centre for Research and Restoration of Museums of France.

In 2004, La Maréchalerie became a contemporary art center for the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Versailles.

Since 2012, the Petite Écurie has housed a gypsothèque, a collection of around 5,000 sculptures and casts based on ancient art (mainly Roman, since it wasn't until the eighteenth century that archaeologists began to take an active interest in Greece).

These are the molding collections of the Louvre, the École des Beaux-Arts and the Institut d'art et d'archéologie de la Sorbonne.

Under the direction of Louis XIV, Jean-Baptiste Colbert had required the boarders at the French Academy in Rome to copy ancient pieces, so that they could serve as inspiration for the sculptors at Versailles.
