As restoration work on the cathedral enters its final phase, the Musée du Louvre is devoting a unique exhibition to the treasury of Notre-Dame de Paris. This treasure, which brings together the objects and priestly vestments necessary for worship, relics and reliquaries, manuscript books and other precious objects donated out of piety, will then move to the cathedral’s neo-Gothic sacristy, built by Jean-Baptiste Lassus and Eugène Viollet-Le-Duc between 1845 and 1850 to house them.

Presented at the Musée d’Orsay in autumn 2023, this will be the first exhibition devoted to the works produced by Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) during the last two months of his life, at Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris. The exhibition is the culmination of years of research into this crucial phase in the artist’s life, and will enable the public to appreciate it in its true dimension.

The first retrospective in France devoted to the American painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970) since the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1999, the exhibition presented at the Fondation from 18 October 2023 brings together some 115 works from major institutional collections, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Tate in London and the Phillips Collection in Washington, as well as major international private collections, including that of the artist’s family.
The exhibition will take place throughout the Foundation, following a chronological itinerary that traces the artist’s career from his first figurative paintings to the abstraction that defines his work today.

To mark the 50th anniversary of Picasso’s death, the Musée du Luxembourg is staging a major exhibition on the story of the extraordinary friendship between two 20th-century icons, Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein.
Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), a Jewish American immigrant, writer, poet and aesthete, moved to Paris in 1903, shortly after the arrival of Picasso, then a young artist. Their position as foreigners and their marginality underpinned their membership of the Parisian bohemian scene and their artistic freedom. Their friendship crystallised around their respective work, which was the foundation of Cubism and the pictorial and literary avant-gardes of the twentieth century. Their posterity is immense.
By examining their complicity and inventiveness, the Musée du Luxembourg exhibition will explore a century of art, poetry, music and theatre through the work of such great figures as Henri Matisse, Juan Gris, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Bruce Nauman, Carl Andre, Joseph Kosuth, Hanne Darboven, Glenn Ligon, John Cage, Bob Wilson, Gary Hill and Philip Glass.
