When design pushes through museum doors, the encounter often comes with a few surprises. Paris Design Week seizes the new season to bring together contemporary creation, heritage and collections, with events hosted across several of the capital’s cultural institutions. From 10 to 19 September 2026, exhibitions and installations invite you to discover design in spaces where art history, the crafts, architecture or memory already play a central role. A cross-disciplinary mix that makes it easy to keep up with design news while revisiting some of Paris’s iconic cultural addresses.

Museums, monuments, libraries and institutions are thus taking part in the movement, each with its own identity and backdrop. The Mobilier National can naturally speak of furniture and craftsmanship, while elsewhere a writer’s house, archives or a historic monument offer creators a very different playground. The aim is to see how today’s forms sit within architectures, collections and histories that are so varied. A smart way to do two things at once: follow the Paris Design Week while adding a healthy dose of culture to your itinerary.
