Eva Gonzalès – Petit Palais

The Petit Palais is dedicating an exceptional exhibition to Eva Gonzalès (1847–1883), a still little-known figure in 19th-century French painting. For the first time, an exhibition of this scale in France offers the chance to rediscover her career and her work, ahead of its presentation at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2027.
Although close to Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès nevertheless distinguished herself through a deeply personal approach to painting. As Édouard Manet’s only official pupil, she developed a formative artistic relationship with him, whilst gradually establishing an aesthetic all her own. At a time when women artists were still struggling to find their place, she succeeded in creating a sensitive and distinctive body of work, characterised in particular by scenes of modern life.
Bringing together nearly 100 paintings, pastels and engravings, the exhibition offers a fresh perspective on a career that was brutally cut short at the age of just 36. A rare opportunity to appreciate the richness of a body of work that has long remained in the shadow of the great names of her era.

When? 15 September 2026 to 24 January 2027
Where? Petit Palais, Paris

Andy Warhol – Line and Image

The Musée du Luxembourg is honouring Andy Warhol with an exhibition that invites visitors to rediscover the artist from a lesser-known angle: that of his relationship with drawing and graphic design. An iconic figure of Pop Art, Warhol is world-famous for his images of consumer goods, his portraits of celebrities and his exploration of popular culture.
The exhibition invites visitors to look beyond these iconic works to focus on the artist’s creative process and the essential role of the line in his work. Over a hundred pieces, including drawings, paintings, silkscreen prints, photographs and archival documents, will enable visitors to trace the evolution of his visual language and gain a deeper understanding of the various facets of his practice.
A journey into Warhol’s graphic universe, where line, image and popular culture converge to reveal an artist as attentive to the gesture as to the power of the image.

When? From 16 September 2026 to 10 January 2027
Where? Musée du Luxembourg, 19 rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris

Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette – Behind the scenes of a cult film

The Palace of Versailles looks back at one of the most memorable films about the last queen of France with an exhibition dedicated to Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, released in 2006 and largely filmed at Versailles. Through the director’s eyes, the historical figure gives way to a young woman grappling with loneliness, the conventions of court life and the weight of a destiny she did not choose.
Held at the Petit Trianon, the exhibition offers a behind-the-scenes look at this cinematic reinterpretation, bringing together original costumes, props, photographs from the shoot, storyboards, annotated scripts and set pieces. Conceived with the collaboration of Sofia Coppola, it offers an insight into how the film’s instantly recognisable aesthetic was crafted, blending historical references, pastel colours and decidedly contemporary touches.
Screenings of scenes filmed on the estate’s very own grounds will extend the experience, creating a dialogue between the historic settings of Versailles and the film’s visual world. An immersive journey behind the scenes of a film that has achieved cult status, whose influence continues to be felt in fashion, design and popular culture.

When? From 22 September 2026 to 24 January 2027
Where? Petit Trianon, Palace of Versailles

Cézanne et nous – Grand Palais

The Grand Palais is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to Paul Cézanne and the lasting influence of his work on successive generations of artists. Rather than presenting his work in isolation, Cézanne and Us explores the many dialogues he fostered with modern and contemporary painting. *
Nearly 180 works, including around 70 by Cézanne himself, bring together paintings and creations by artists inspired by his approach. From Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Joan Mitchell, Bridget Riley and Peter Doig, the exhibition highlights the various ways in which his pictorial language has been taken up, transformed and reinvented.
Through these parallels, the exhibition tells a true story of artistic transmission, in which each generation appropriates Cézanne’s legacy to open up new avenues for painting. It is an exhibition that thus allows us to appreciate the extent to which his approach to colour, form and the construction of the image continues to resonate in contemporary art.

When? From 23 September 2026 to 17 January 2027
Where? Grand Palais, Square Jean Perrin, 17 avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris

Remember Me – Bourse de Commerce

To mark the bicentenary of photography, the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection is celebrating two centuries of images with Remember Me, a major exhibition that offers a free-spirited and sensitive perspective on the history of the medium. Its title echoes a work by Barbara Kruger, installed at the heart of the Rotonde, which accompanies the exhibition route.
Rather than a chronological narrative, the exhibition emphasises unexpected connections between artists, techniques and eras, creating a dialogue between the great names of heritage photography and those of contemporary art. The exhibition brings together works by Gustave Le Gray, Man Ray, Dorothea Lange, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman and Wolfgang Tillmans, among others, showcasing the richness and diversity of the Pinault Collection.
With nearly 700 works, Remember Me offers a journey through photography in all its forms, from its earliest experiments to its most contemporary expressions. The exhibition is conceived as an invitation to look afresh at a medium which, for two centuries, has documented, transformed and shaped our relationship with the world.

When? From 7 October 2026
Where? Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, Paris

Gustave Fayet, collector – creator

The Louis Vuitton Foundation is dedicating an exceptional exhibition to Gustave Fayet, a major figure in the art world of the early 20th century, whose role as both a collector and a creator remains, however, little known. Through a unique exhibition itinerary, the exhibition explores the two facets of a man who was both a visionary art lover and an artist committed to creation.
Spanning the entire Foundation, the exhibition is structured around these two complementary facets. In particular, it offers the chance to rediscover a collection now scattered across the four corners of the globe, brought together exceptionally for the first time in nearly a century. Among the works on display are major pieces by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Odilon Redon, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Paul Signac, Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard and Henri Matisse.
The exhibition also unveils 325 works by Gustave Fayet, many of which have never before been shown to the public and have been restored for the occasion. This dialogue between the works he chose to collect and those he created himself reveals a deeply personal artistic vision and allows us to situate Fayet within the vibrant artistic modernity of his time.

When? From 9 October 2026 to 8 March 2027
Where? Fondation Louis Vuitton, 8 avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, 75016 Paris

For its opening, Le Large has entrusted its first exhibition to Cecilia Alemani, curator of, amongst other things, the 2022 Venice Biennale. Entitled ‘Moteur Imaginaire’, the exhibition will draw inspiration from the industrial history of Île Seguin and its former Renault factories, bringing together works from the Renault Collection with contemporary creations, including 17 previously unseen works commissioned especially for the occasion.
With its 5,000 m², of which 2,500 m² are dedicated to exhibitions, Le Large aims to be as much a place for art as a place for life, open to as many people as possible. A new cultural destination that promises to make Île Seguin one of the new hotspots for contemporary art in the Greater Paris area.
