A revolution in Art changed everything it touched, bringing new perspectives and approaches that blew what people thought they knew about painting.
This revolution took place in Paris.
And on the frontlines were two masters — Édouard Manet (1832 to 1883) and Edgar Degas (1834 to 1917).
In this fun exhibit, Orsay will answer the question : Were they friends or foes?

The temporary exhibition encompasses nearly 130 works and invites visitors to embark on a journey to the crossroad of Civilizations in the Uzbekistan’s Oases. Although the crowds and the small space, the Louvre helped me discover something new.
The two curators : Yannick Lintz , Art Historian from Musée Guimet (Antiquities from India, China..) and the french archeologist Rocco Rante , expert with the Islamic arts dept of the Louvre succeeded to borrow many treasures to shed light on why this far-flung dry region near China and India fascinated Alexander the Great and the caliphs of Baghdad.
This hotspot of exchange and cultural flourishing provided a forum where Western and Eastern civilisations could dialogue and mingle harmoniously.

Les Choses is a an exceptional temporary exhibit at the Louvre.
It is an invitation to rediscover closely and privately the fascinating art of still life from antiquity to Modern and even contemporary art.
In a chronological order, we experience our relation to the Objects coming to life through the selection of exceptional paintings and other forms of visual Art.
I enjoyed the dialog between famous paintings and between world-class artists such as Picasso, Matisse, De la Tour, Linard, Dali, Monet, and less famous artists, yet, with exceptional pieces of Art.

A combination of paintings spanned on six decades of work from a single genius artist with a extraordinary mixture of resources from Paris to Oslo museums brought to us a newer perception of the definition of Art.

Presented at the Musée Eugène Delacroix, this Louvre presentation gives you a special look into the legendary painter’s love of nature and his many works that capture all its splendour. The museum is placed in Delacroix’s final living space and studio, making the study of this work all the more personal.
The artist frequently returned to works celebrating nature throughout his career. It served as both a source of comfort for him as well as the perfect challenge for his talents. The intricate nature scenes he painted pushed him to his absolute limits, and they survive today as a testament to an artist and his ultimate subject.

60 years ago, Yves Saint Laurent released his first collection of haute couture fashion. To celebrate this enormous milestone, the Louvre is participating in a multi-museum event, showing off historic elements of the fashion house’s collection. The garments on display are sumptuous examples of French design and fashion. The clothing selection will be shown in one of the Louvre’s most important spaces, the Galerie d’Apollon. As a supporter of museums and art lover himself, this is a fitting tribute to the life and work of Yves Saint Laurent.
If you still want to see more works of Yves Saint Laurent, you can visit his Museum in Paris.
