The Louvre’s Department of Near Eastern Antiquities is hosting ten major works from New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art is currently closed for renovation. The Louvre and The Met have created a unique dialogue between these two collections, which is displayed in the Louvre’s permanent galleries. These ‘special guest’ artworks from The Met, dating from between the late 4th millennium BC and the 5th century AD, show some remarkable connections with the Louvre’s collection. In some cases, a pair of objects has been reunited for the first time, while in others, pieces complement each other by virtue of specific historical features of their respective collections. Representing Central Asia, Syria, Iran and Mesopotamia, this dialogue between collections is (re)introducing visitors to these extraordinary, age-old works of art and the stories they tell.

What is intimacy and what are its limits? To whom can we confide our innermost thoughts, to whom do we want to show ourselves and our world?

The Museum of Decorative Arts explores 12 different themes, each revealing a facet of our times.

Repeating patterns, bright colors, cultural symbols, codes from comic books or video games: for more than 60 years, the Pop Art movement has been known, admired and imitated around the world.

From October 16, 2024 to March 3, 2025, the Fondation Louis Vuitton will present "Forever Pop, Tom Wesselmann and...", an exhibition that presents one of the most important art movements since the 1960s. The Fondation Louis Vuitton brings together 150 paintings, installations and other works, including many works by Tom Wesselmann, the artist regarded as one of the founders of Pop Art. He is joined by the unforgettable Andy Warhol, as well as Jeff Koons, Marcel Duchamp, Derek Adams, Jasper Johns, Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Lauren Halsey, Marjorie Strider, Marisol, Kurt Schwitters... All the richness of Pop Art is represented. The exhibition even expands its scope, presenting 70 works by international artists from different decades and movements.

These 'looks' bear witness to Stephen Jones' enduring loyalty to some of the world's leading fashion houses, not least Christian Dior, with whom he worked for nearly 30 years. This key figure has become the most 'French' of British milliners, bringing a bold energy and boundless creativity to Parisian fashion.

The Tree Tales exhibition is a fairy tale of trees. Profoundly in love with wood, the Danish designer and Master-cabinet maker Laura Bergsøe has devoted her life to revealing the personality and “soul” of the trees that she sources all over the world for her dream-like tables, shelves, lamps and wall reliefs. Bergsøe works with the uniqueness of each piece of wood – its veins and knots, twists and turns - which she enhances through precious metals and materials, such as liquid silver, bronze and raw diamonds, delicately inserted into the wood. Rich with imaginative details, such as butterfly joints, bronze and silver ornaments or mammoth tooths, Bergsøe turns the inside of the tree into a wonderland of sprouts and flowers, butterflies, silver lakes and diamond drops.

French post-Impressionist female painter Suzanne Valadon was the first female member of the French Artists Association. She served as a model for Impressionist masters such as Renoir, Degas, and Modigliani of the Paris School. Legend has it that she taught herself to become a professional painter from a painter's model. She walked from behind the drawing board to the drawing board, cleverly and harmoniously, brightly and powerfully, and was not influenced by any school or style. The exhibition will display more than 100 works, covering oil paintings, sketches and prints, plaster and bronze sculptures, etc. The relevant documentary materials play an auxiliary role in our review of the career of a female artist who played an important role in Paris, including her multiple interactions with the avant-garde art circles at the time.
