Conceived as a labyrinth, the "Surrealism" exhibition is an unprecedented plunge into the exceptional creative effervescence of the Surrealist movement, born in 1924 with the publication of André Breton's founding Manifesto.

Combining paintings, drawings, films, photographs and literary documents, the exhibition features works by the movement's emblematic artists (Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Joan Miró), as well as by female Surrealists (including Leonora Carrington, Ithell Colquhoun and Dora Maar).

Both chronological and thematic, the tour is punctuated by 14 chapters evoking the literary figures who inspired the movement (Lautréamont, Lewis Carroll, Sade...) and the poetic principles that structure its imagination (the artist-medium, the dream, the philosopher's stone, the forest...).

For its reopening exhibition after more than a year of renovations, the Musée Jacquemart- André will be presenting some 40 masterpieces from the famous Galerie Borghèse in Rome. This exceptional partnership between the two institutions offers a unique opportunity to admire in Paris a group of major works by famous artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, rarely loaned abroad, from Caravaggio to Rubens, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Veronese, Antonello da Messina and Bernini.

For the first time, the Petit Palais is opening its doors to urban artists, inviting them to engage in a subtle dialogue with its permanent collections and architecture. Visitors are invited to explore urban art through a journey of original works, free of charge.

Thirteen major artists of the street art movement, including Shepard Fairey, Invader, D*Face, Seth, Cleon Peterson, Hush, Swoon, Vhils, Inti, Add Fuel and Conor Harrington, take over the Petit Palais with monumental works that forge links with the museum's collections.

This stroll leads the visitor to an installation of over 200 works, presented in a single room of the collections.

POP FOREVER Since the 1950s, Pop Art has surged on both sides of the Atlantic, celebrating the art of popular culture and consumerism. With 70 works by 35 artists of different generations and nationalities, all share the "POP" sentiment, from Andy WARHOL to KAWS and AL WEIWEI.

L'Atelier des Lumières dedicates its new exhibition to the Egypt of the Pharaohs, featuring masterpieces from a civilization that spans three millennia and fascinates every generation. The immersive journey takes visitors along the Nile with its lush flora and fauna, and invites them to discover the daily life of ancient Egypt with its bas-reliefs, paintings and ancient papyri.

The digital exhibition reveals the remains of ancient Egypt as they appeared to French scientists during the Egyptian Campaign from 1798 to 1801, and as drawn by painter David Roberts. Visitors are immersed in this period of history, discovering the construction sites of the pyramids, the temples dedicated to multiple divinities, the mythical battles that punctuated the reigns of successive sovereigns, and immersing themselves in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.

The exhibition will focus on transparency as Yves Saint Laurent's preferred artistic expression. Some forty textile pieces will be presented. These will be accompanied by elements of the creative process: sketches, tracing patterns, photographs and accessories, as well as a series of drawings inspired by the paintings of Goya. Works by modern and contemporary artists echo Yves Saint Laurent's creations.

Attracted by the suggestive power of transparency, Yves Saint Laurent began experimenting with materials such as chiffon, lace and tulle in the 1960s. Like a leitmotif, transparency recurs regularly throughout his forty-year career, actively contributing to the silhouette of a powerful, liberated woman. Drawing on the power of materials, this new exhibition explores fashion and the couturier's vision in all its complexity: as close as possible to his relationship with the body and revisited nudity.
