Top 3 Exhibitions
July 2026
Musée d’Orsay
Double Exhibition
Renoir and Love
until 19 July 2026
Renoir, the Draughtsman
until 5 July 2026
What to expect?
The Musée d’Orsay will present two parallel exhibitions on Pierre-Auguste Renoir. One focuses on his well-known paintings of love, leisure, and modern life in the 19th century. The second exhibition showcases drawings and sketches that offer insights into his creative process. Together, the two exhibitions reveal different facets of his artistic output.
More about the exhibition. Pre-Report.
Fondation Louis Vuitton
Calder. Dreaming in Balance
until 16 August 2026
What can you expect
Alexander Calder was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. The focus is on his famous mobiles and stabilises, which play with movement, balance, and space. Calder revolutionized sculpture by liberating it from its static form. His suspended constructions react to air currents and are constantly changing—seemingly weightless, yet precisely balanced. The exhibition impressively demonstrates how Calder combined technique, poetry, and lightness, thereby developing a unique, dreamlike visual language.
Here is our preview
Les Invalides
AURA Invalides: Immersive show in the cathedral in the evening (NO museum visit included)
the show has been extended again!
extended until 21 November 2026
What can you expect?
The impressive show AURA INVALIDES combines orchestral music, video mapping, and lighting effects into a unique multimedia experience – and sheds new light on the architecture of the famous Parisian building.

other exhibitions
in July
Ateliers des Lumieres
Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo
Extended until September 12 (Tuesday & Saturday)
What can you expect?
This immersive exhibition transports visitors to the world of the Renaissance, focusing on three of its most important artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
Instead of displaying original works, the exhibition uses large-scale digital projections that bring paintings, drawings, and frescoes to life and place them in a new context. Music and light enhance the experience, creating an atmospheric approach to the era. The result is a modern, sensory interpretation of the Renaissance that not only explains art history but also brings it to life.
Coldplay: A Film for the Future
Extended until September 12, 2026 (Fridays & Saturdays)
What to expect?
An immersive 360-degree experience based on the Coldplay album *Moon Music*. 150 international artists present a unique collaborative work.

Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection
Chiaroscuro
until 24 August 2026
What can you expect?
The exhibition “Clair-obscur” explores the interplay of light and darkness in contemporary art. Works by various artists demonstrate how shadows, transitions, and uncertainties influence our perception and emotions. The result is an atmospheric tour that deliberately focuses on the hidden, the fragile, and the ambiguous.
We were there and covered both parts of the exhibition! Here is our report!

What to expect?
The exhibition at the Grand Palais is dedicated to the later years of Henri Matisse’s work and shows how creative and experimental he remained well into old age. Alongside paintings and drawings, the focus is primarily on his intensely colored paper cutouts, with which he discovered new avenues of design. The show conveys a vivid portrait of an artist who, despite physical limitations, developed a radically new visual language.

Louvre
Michelangelo and Rodin: Living Bodies
until 20 July 2026
What to expect?
The exhibition juxtaposes Michelangelo and Auguste Rodin—two sculptors who depicted the human body in revolutionary ways.
The central question is how stone can appear alive. Michelangelo’s powerful, tension-filled figures enter into a dialogue with Rodin’s expressive, sometimes fragmented sculptures. Parallels become apparent, as does Rodin’s independent development toward a modern, emotional formal language.
The exhibition impressively demonstrates how both artists breathed life into stone.

It offers a comprehensive insight into the artistic output and life story of one of the most fascinating photographers of the 20th century.

until 20 September 2026

Portraits, fashion objects, accessories, and decorative arts illustrate how clothing and style expressed social standing, identity, and ideals of beauty.

Calder. Dreaming in Balance
until 16 August 2026
What can you expect
Alexander Calder was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. The focus is on his famous mobiles and stabilises, which play with movement, balance, and space. Calder revolutionized sculpture by liberating it from its static form. His suspended constructions react to air currents and are constantly changing—seemingly weightless, yet precisely balanced. The exhibition impressively demonstrates how Calder combined technique, poetry, and lightness, thereby developing a unique, dreamlike visual language.

Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo
Extended until September 12 (Tuesday & Saturday)
What can you expect?
This immersive exhibition transports visitors to the world of the Renaissance, focusing on three of its most important artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo.

The result is a modern, sensory interpretation of the Renaissance that not only explains art history but also brings it to life.
