Photo exhibition ‘Versailles nuit au petit Trianon’
Dates: September 14 to October 31
Location: Petit Trianon

This fall, the Petit Trianon is hosting a contemporary exhibition by photographer Patrick Hourcade. The itinerary brings together 25 photographs taken at the Estate of Versailles during three nights spent by the artist in the heart of the royal mansion away from the lights.
These photographs taken in the solitude of the night, and the result of three years of work, offer a new, almost intimate experience, with a sober and spectacular Palace of Versailles at the same time.

Full price: 14€
Reduced price: 10€Following “Ten Thousand Years of Luxury”, organised together with the Louvre Abu Dhabi in 2019, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs presents “Luxes”. The exhibition offers a journey through time and geography, combining moments of contemplation and more monumental scans, offering each of the 100 works presented the most relevant space for delectation and understanding. The chronological and thematic tour opens up two emblematic places that are usually closed to visitors: the Salon 1900, a living memory of the Paris Universal Exhibition, a museum commission to celebrate Art Nouveau and the French decorative arts, and the Salon des Boiseries, revealing other masterpieces of European decoration, including an incredible chandelier by Venini exhibited in Paris in 1925, a spacious room in which to read and dream, taking time to enjoy the Tuileries and the rhythm of the city. Sensitive and encyclopaedic, selective and historical, the exhibition thus offers, for the first time in Paris and at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, an insight into luxury for the contemporary world. The scenography was entrusted to Nathalie Crinière and her agency, with the exceptional participation of the European Confederation of Flax.

Have you ever held a secret, a big secret? No ? Then you don’t know how difficult it can be to keep it to yourself. Of all the immaterial things, silence is one of the heaviest to bear.

Exhibition Botticelli
En savoir +ParticipateLocation: Musée Jacquemart-André
Dates: September 10, 2021 to January 24, 2022
Prices: From €10
In the fall of 2021, the Jacquemart-André Museum will celebrate the creative genius of Sandro Botticelli (1445 – 1510) and the activity of his workshop, by exposing some forty works of this refined painter accompanied by some paintings of his Florentine contemporaries on which Botticelli had a special influence. The career of Botticelli, who became one of the greatest artists of Florence, bears witness to the influence and profound changes that transformed the city under the Medici.
Botticelli is undoubtedly one of the most famous painters of the Italian Renaissance despite the part of mystery that still surrounds his life and the activity of his studio. Tirelessly, he alternated unique creation and serial production completed by his many assistants.
The exhibition will show the importance of this workshop practice, a laboratory full of ideas and training, typical of the Italian Renaissance. She will present Botticelli as a creator, but also as an entrepreneur and trainer.
Following a chronological and thematic order, the itinerary will illustrate Botticelli’s personal stylistic development, the links between his work and the culture of his time, as well as the influence he himself exerted on the Florentine artists of the Quattrocento.
The exhibition will benefit from loans from prestigious institutions such as the Louvre Museum, the National Gallery of London, the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam, the Vatican Museums and Libraries, the Uffizi, the Galleria Sabauda of Turin, the Galleria dell’Accademia and the National Bargello Museum in Florence, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and the Städel Museum in Frankfurt.
