The exhibition devoted by the Musée d'Orsay to the Norwegian artist Christian Krohg is the artist's first retrospective outside Scandinavia, following several exhibitions in Oslo and Lillehammer in 2012, and Copenhagen in 2014. By highlighting Krohg's committed, naturalistic works, the museum offers a new perspective on Norwegian art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between two major collections in the Côte d'Azur region, works by Niki de Saint Phalle, Arman, Yves Klein, Raymond Hains, Martial Raysse and César come face to face with the plastic innovations of Fernand Léger, one of the pioneers of the 20th-century avant-garde.
Alongside these principal representatives of New Realism, works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein or later Keith Haring, illustrate the artistic exchanges that very early on existed between European creation and the American scene.

The exhibition, featuring nearly 100 works, takes a playful and creative approach to various themes: the misappropriation of the object, the representation of the body and leisure, and the place of art in the public space.
Through powerful artistic gestures, the artists elevate elements captured in their most mundane reality to the status of works of art. They merge art and life, revealing to the viewer the poetic beauty of our everyday lives.

The 'Art is in the Street' exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay from 18 March to 6 July 2025 examines the spectacular rise of the illustrated poster in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. Co-organised in partnership with the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the exhibition is a first on this scale. In fact, in Paris, no major event has yet been devoted to this social phenomenon, bringing together so many outstanding works by the 'Masters of the poster'. Bonnard, Chéret, Grasset, Mucha, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec.

From February 18 to May 25, 2025, the Musée national Picasso Paris presents its new temporary exhibition: "'Degenerate'" art. Modern art on trial under the Nazis". The first exhibition in France devoted to so-called "degenerate" art, it explores and puts into perspective the Nazi regime's methodical attack on modern art.
