Renoir and Love at the Musée d’Orsay – until July 19, 2026

The Musée d’Orsay has collected nearly 50 masterpieces by Renoir’s early work (1865–1885) from around the world! This is a unique opportunity to see works in Paris that are usually scattered among private and public collections on both sides of the Atlantic.

What awaits you:
* Legendary paintings: “Ball at the Moulin de la Galette” (1876) from the Orsay collection, “Luncheon of the Boating Party” (1880–1881) from Washington, “Dance at Bougival” (1883) from Boston, and “The Umbrellas” (1881–1885) from London.
* A rare chance to see together works that rarely leave their permanent collections and decipher Renoir’s language of love.
* Learn the master’s personal story: Renoir’s life contrasts with his carefree subjects.

18th-Century Fashion: A Heritage-Fantasy at the Palais Galliera – until July 12, 2026

Immerse yourself in the world of Marie Antoinette, whose aesthetics defined fashion for centuries to come! This exhibition is a historical journey from authentic luxury items of her era to their reimagining in contemporary culture.

What awaits you:
* Exquisite 18th-century artifacts: from fragments of court dresses to the personal belongings of Marie Antoinette. Discover how the queen became a tastemaker.
* Dialogue of eras: Authentic exhibits sit alongside works by contemporary couturiers such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Christian Lacroix, and Vivienne Westwood, demonstrating how the queen’s image inspires haute couture.
* Immersive cinema: costumes from Sofia Coppola’s Oscar-winning film “Marie Antoinette,” designed by Milena Canonero, and the famous Manolo Blahnik shoes.
* Immersive experience: projections, set design, and even scented installations will recreate the very atmosphere of the douceur de vivre for which the 18th century was famous.

Matisse 1941–1954 at the Grand Palais – until July 26, 2026

In 1941, Henri Matisse underwent a major operation. Doctors gave him three years to live, but he cheated death for 13 years, creating his major works during that time. The exhibition at the Grand Palais is an immersion into the genius’s workshop.

What awaits you:
* Gouaches cut with scissors: Learn how Matisse, almost without leaving his bed, created his famous “cuttings” – the “painting with color” that became his signature.
* Last canvases: Contrary to popular myth, Matisse continued to paint. The exhibition features approximately 75 paintings from 1941–1954, including the famous “Interiors of Vence” and portraits of his muse, Lydia Delectorskaya. • The Rosary Chapel – a major work: discover the story behind Matisse’s masterpiece – sketches, liturgical vestments, ceramic panels, and drawings that show how the artist created one of the most profound sacred spaces of the 20th century.

Treat yourself to a journey through time, where the 18th century meets the 21st, and history unfolds not in dusty display cases, but in a vibrant, inspiring dialogue of styles and meanings.
