Heritage Days 2026 in Paris: the program at the Russian Orthodox Center

For the 2026 Heritage Days in Paris, the Russian Orthodox Spiritual and Cultural Center, located next to the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, invites you to the weekend of September 19–20, 2026.

Every year, the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days ) are an opportunity for enthusiasts and the curious to fill up on cultural goodies through a rich program. The event usually takes place on the third weekend in September, when many cultural sites, establishments and institutions open their doors to reveal their secrets, sometimes in exceptional ways!

Whether you're a fan of history, art, fashion or much more, each edition of the Paris and Île-de-France festival offers a program so vast that everyone can find the event they're most interested in!

In Paris, it’s the chance to go after the city’s most iconic monuments or to venture toward lesser-known spots. On the 7th arrondissement, as you reach the banks near the Alma Bridge, you’ll glimpse a cathedral like no other, at the crossroads of modernity and tradition. Its five gold‑glowed onion domes draw the eye, and its architecture nods to both Byzantine and Russian styles.

This is the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, also known as the Russian Orthodox Cathedral. Adjacent to it sits the Russian Spiritual and Cultural Center, to which the church building is closely linked. In celebration of the 43rd edition of Heritage Days, slated for the weekend of September 19–20, 2026, we’re in for a specially curated program!

Systematization. Nizhny Novgorod. Contemporary art exhibition
The exhibition Mise en système. Nijni Novgorod brings together more than a dozen contemporary artists from Nizhny Novgorod who are G invited to reside in local cultural institutions: Futuro Gallery, the Center for Contemporary Art “Terminal A,” the gallery “9B,” and the workshop “Tikhaya” (“Silent”). This project was initiated by Moscow gallery “Triomphe” and the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2023–2024 and has already been presented in Moscow, Kazan and Perm.

The exhibition gathers a selection of works created between 2016 and 2026 across a range of techniques and genres—from traditional painting and drawing to textile objects, ceramics and video—that revolve, on the one hand, around reflections on place and, on the other, on integration into the global context of contemporary culture. The show tackles questions of the artist’s interaction with space, memory, the viewer and art.
