Taking place in the Grand Palais from October 18 to 20, 2024, this contemporary art fair should once again attract many curious onlookers and culture lovers.

But Art Basel Paris is not confined to the Grand Palais. Art is moving beyond the walls of the monument, and setting up shop in various iconic locations in the capital, including the forecourt of the Institut de France, the Hôtel de la Marine, the Musée Eugène Delacroix and the Domaine du Palais-Royal.

Exhibitions and installations take up residence in these cultural sites, offering visitors a welcome artistic moment. This contemporary art trail begins as soon as you leave the Grand Palais, with an open-air exhibition onavenue Winston Churchill.

From October 15 to 20, 2024, the avenue, made exclusively pedestrian for the occasion, will host three monumental sculptures by John Chamberlain (USA), Yayoi Kusama (Japan) and Jean Prouvé (France).
