Parisians are so lucky! In addition to the beautiful museums and monuments to visit in every corner of the capital, they can enjoy the largest concentration of art galleries in the world, no less! Lovers of contemporary, historical and unusual works of art are in heaven, and are spoilt for choice when it comes to current exhibitions, which they can discover without further ado! And yet, art galleries are sometimes overlooked, even though they are often free of charge and offer genuine diversity.
From the Marais to Belleville, via Saint-Germain-des-Prés and all the way to the north-east of the capital, you can easily discover an art gallery hidden around the corner, offering you an incredible moment of escape. While they don't have the same resources as the major collections, they often offer astonishing, immersive scenographies, so that you can embark on a journey into their universe, alongside the artists on display, who may or may not be well known to the general public. It's also a great opportunity to spot your next favorite artists!
Whether it's a tribute to music, cinema or pop-culture, an exhibition of photographs or sculptures, or something totally offbeat, which one are you going to fall for today?
