Top exhibitions in Paris Region this winter

Don’t miss the Institut du monde arabe, where you are bound to be enchanted by the sweet parfums d’Orient, or the musée du Luxembourg, where Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso reveal their friendship, at the Musée du Louvre, where you can admire the Masterpieces from the Capodimonte Museum in Naples on display in the heart of the collections, the Trésor de Notre-Dame, from its distant origins to the work of Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century. The Atelier des Lumières plunges us into the fantastic and dreamlike work of the painter Marc Chagall. The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris honours the work of Nicolas de Staël, a key figure on the post-war French art scene. The Palais Galliera pays tribute to the fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa from the perspective of the collector.

With the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games set to rock Paris and the surrounding region in just a few months’ time, museums are starting to get into the swing of things, offering us a sports-themed programme. And it’s the musée des Arts décoratifs that’s opening the ball this winter with an exhibition showing how sportswear has invaded our wardrobes. Sport or style, why choose?

The season is shaping up to be a period of major exhibitions, including Mark Rothko at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Berthe Morisot and the art of the 18th century at the Musée Marmottan Monet and the exhibition at the musée d’Orsay devoted to the last months of Vincent Van Gogh at Auvers-sur-Oise. A busy cultural agenda to look forward to!
This winter, the exhibitions will be surprising, poetic, unique, atypical, immersive… You’ll be spoilt for choice!
