The École Nationale Supérieur des Beaux-Arts is a beautiful establishment in the centre of Paris, right across from the Louvre. Established in 1648, it is considered one of the top art schools in the world. Over the years, the highest honour students could earn was the 'Prix de Rome', which allowed them three to five years of studies in the Villa Medici in Rome. In 1968 the prize was discontinued for political reasons, and although still owned by the French Government, the Villa Medici now houses French students of all disciplines, not solely art.

Bonus:
Canadian mathematician cum musician Dan Snaith (who produces under the names Caribou and Daphni) created a youtube playlist of 1000 of his favourite songs, which you can listen to here.
