CITY GUIDE

The Dior Gallery, which bears witness to the bold vision of Christian Dior and his six successors: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri.

L'Atelier des Lumières dedicates its new exhibition to the Egypt of the Pharaohs, featuring masterpieces from a civilization that spans three millennia and fascinates every generation. The immersive journey takes visitors along the Nile with its lush flora and fauna, and invites them to discover the daily life of ancient Egypt with its bas-reliefs, paintings and ancient papyri.

The digital exhibition reveals the remains of ancient Egypt as they appeared to French scientists during the Egyptian Campaign from 1798 to 1801, and as drawn by painter David Roberts. Visitors are immersed in this period of history, discovering the construction sites of the pyramids, the temples dedicated to multiple divinities, the mythical battles that punctuated the reigns of successive sovereigns, and immersing themselves in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.

Conceived as a labyrinth, the "Surrealism" exhibition is an unprecedented plunge into the exceptional creative effervescence of the Surrealist movement, born in 1924 with the publication of André Breton's founding Manifesto.

Combining paintings, drawings, films, photographs and literary documents, the exhibition features works by the movement's emblematic artists (Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Joan Miró), as well as by female Surrealists (including Leonora Carrington, Ithell Colquhoun and Dora Maar).

Both chronological and thematic, the tour is punctuated by 14 chapters evoking the literary figures who inspired the movement (Lautréamont, Lewis Carroll, Sade...) and the poetic principles that structure its imagination (the artist-medium, the dream, the philosopher's stone, the forest...).

For its reopening exhibition after more than a year of renovations, the Musée Jacquemart- André will be presenting some 40 masterpieces from the famous Galerie Borghèse in Rome. This exceptional partnership between the two institutions offers a unique opportunity to admire in Paris a group of major works by famous artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, rarely loaned abroad, from Caravaggio to Rubens, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Veronese, Antonello da Messina and Bernini.

For the first time, the Petit Palais is opening its doors to urban artists, inviting them to engage in a subtle dialogue with its permanent collections and architecture. Visitors will be able to explore urban art through a journey of never-before-seen works, free of charge.

Thirteen major artists of the street art movement, including Shepard Fairey, Invader, D*Face, Seth, Cleon Peterson, Hush, Swoon, Vhils, Inti, Add Fuel and Conor Harrington, take over the Petit Palais with monumental works that forge links with the museum's collections.

This stroll leads the visitor to an installation of over 200 works, presented in a single room of the collections.
