Adresse: 1 Place de la Concorde
The Jeu de Paume presents an exhibition exploring the relationship between image and feeling through over a century of photography. The exhibition investigates how a seemingly superficial medium can instead narrate interiority, the emotional moment, and the gesture that betray the presence of an emotion. Through a thematic, rather than chronological, itinerary, the exhibition brings together art, documentary, and scientific photographs, alongside anonymous shots and archival materials. The sections address how emotion manifests itself in the face, the body, or movement, and how photographic technique - from exposure time to digital post-production - can amplify or dissolve the perception of feeling. The exhibition invites us to interpret photography as a language capable of making the invisible visible, of capturing what escapes: a tremor, a hesitation, a moment of intensity. The broad time span, from the 19th century to contemporary research, illustrates the variety of approaches with which artists and scholars have sought to understand the changing nature of emotions. On the occasion of the bicentenary of photography, Une histoire photographique des émotions offers a reflection on its most fragile and universal dimension: that which unites vision with human sensitivity, recalling that every image is, ultimately, an emotional trace of time.
The Musée d’Orsay presents Point de départ, an exhibition devoted to Bridget Riley that explores the origins of her visual language. The influence of Georges Seurat and the birth of Op Art are placed in dialogue through works and preparatory studies.
The Accor Arena in Paris hosts the ninth edition of the Meeting de Paris Indoor, one of the most anticipated events on the World Athletics Indoor Tour. The event, organized by the Fédération Française d’Athlétisme, will bring some of the world's top specialists to the French capital.
At the Grand Palais in Paris, from March 24 to August 2, 2026, a major retrospective explores the final Matisse. More than two hundred works show how illness and immobility turned into creative energy. The cut-outs emerge as his silent revolution, redefining the relationship between color, form, and space.
At the Orangerie in Paris, an exhibition rediscovers Henri Rousseau as a conscious protagonist of modernity. Between naiveté and ambition, the dream of the "customs officer" becomes the boldest statement of modern painting.
