Paris boasts dozens of museums, hundreds of galleries and countless works of art to be seen around every corner... Each venue has its own program, and invites us to discover its exhibitions, which change very often. In short, it's easy to get lost in this mass of news. So what to see, where to go, what to do?
Much to our chagrin, time is not infinite and certain daily obligations keep us away from museums. So when we can finally take the time to visit a beautiful exhibition, we want to be sure that it's going to be fantastic! Alas, it's not easy to choose between all these options. That's where Sortiraparis.com comes in.
For you, we've scoured the entire program of museums in Paris and the Ile-de-France region, to select only the best of the best, the cream of the exhibitions to see this month. Of course, many other exhibitions deserve to be included in this guide, but this selection already gives you the opportunity to discover the unmissable artistic outings to be enjoyed in Paris or the Ile-de-France region at the moment.
