Among the multitude of exhibitions on offer in Paris every year, there are several that celebrate the diversity and richness of the musical universe. Over the next few weeks, three events revolving around music or musical artists will take place in the capital, much to the delight of music lovers. Let's discover them!

Because art is meant to be multiple and rich, there are many exhibitions to discover throughout the year in Paris. There are, for example, exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, painting, photography, fashion, sculpture, street art and artists' retrospectives. But there are also exhibitions dedicated to the fascinating world of music.

In recent years, for example, the Philharmonie de Paris has hosted an exhibition on hip-hop and another on electro music. Several of the capital's cultural venues have also chosen to honor an artist, such as the Michael Jackson exhibition at the Grand Palais (2018-2019), the installation devoted to Fela Anikulapo-Kuti at the Philharmonie (2022) or the Serge Gainsbourg exhibition at the BPI in Beaubourg (2023).

In the near future, Paris will host several new exhibitions dedicated to music. Among them, three are sure to be the talk of the town, starting with the Johnny Hallyday exhibition at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. For its part, the Philharmonie de Paris will be honoring metal music with an original and astonishing exhibition that will reveal all the secrets of extreme music. Finally, the BnF François-Mitterrand will be hosting a free exhibition on the band Bérurier noir, who undeniably left their mark on the history of the French punk movement.
