It's a reality that's hard to accept. And yet, we have to accept it. Exhibitions organized in museums and art venues in Paris and theÎle-de-France region do not last forever. For a few days, a few weeks or a few months, these exhibitions enrich the region'scultural agenda, before leaving again.
It's so sad to have to leave these enchanted moments behind! Especially when we haven't been able to visit the exhibition of our choice before it ends. This situation, with which we are all too familiar, can never be repeated! To make sure you don't miss a single exhibition, Sortiraparis.com has put together this special guide, which selects for you all the exhibitions that end in January 2025.
So there's no time to lose. Discover below the list of exhibitions closing in January, and make sure you visit them before it's too late. Note that some museums and art venues are only accessible by reservation, so get out your diary and prepare yourself for a month of magnificent cultural outings.
