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. And that's where Sortiraparis comes in.
For you, we've scoured the entire Paris and Ile-de-France museum program, to pick out 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 an idea of the unmissable artistic outings to be enjoyed over the next few days in Paris and the Ile-de-France region.
Have you already seen everything, or are you just not enthusiastic about what's on offer? Come back often to consult this guide: this page is updated regularly as we make new discoveries. So if you're always on the lookout for great exhibitions in the Paris region, we suggest you keep this guide in your bookmarks, for even more great ideas for going out!
Are you ready? Hang on, we're off to the must-see exhibitions in and around Paris!
