Exhibition organised by the Musée Carnavalet – History of Paris, Paris Musées
Paris: Impressions of Life 1880–1925 takes visitors on a journey through the lively and picturesque streets of historic Paris. The busy banks of the Seine, bustling marketplaces, grand boulevards, idyllic public gardens, and the heady atmosphere of bohemian Montmartre are brought to life in more than 170 works of art and artisan objects. From the renowned collection of the musée Carnavalet, the iconic museum of the history of Paris, this exhibition reflects on an effervescent period of transformation that continues to capture the global imagination.
Designed in 7 walks, the exhibition allows visitors to discover the atmosphere of Paris in the nineteenth and early twentieth century through works of art made by some of the most famous artists of the time: the Fauvist painter Albert Marquet; one of the founders of pointillism, Paul Signac; or the great artist of Parisian nights, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Thanks to this collection of paintings, sculptures, posters, objects and shop signs, as well as a selection of photographs, the visitor discovers the unique world of Paris from the Belle Époque to the Roaring Twenties.
