Naples in Paris

Following the temporary closure of the Capodimonte Museum, more than sixty works representing the great Italian paintings of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries have been moved to the Louvre museum, where they will remain from June 7, 2023 to January 8, 2024.
A remarkable blend between the Louvre's collection and that of one of Naples' most prestigious museums. The heart of the exhibition can be found in the Salon Carré, the Salle Rosa and the Grande Galerie, with famous names of Italian painting such as Titian and Caravaggio. In the Salle de la Chapelle, the exhibition takes a historical turn, highlighting the different periods of the Kingdom of Naples prior to its annexation to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1861. In the Clock Room, drawings and prints by the Italian masters will be shown alongside those already owned by the Louvre museum. Such an exceptional convergence between these two collections is one of the summer's unmissable cultural highlight for any art lover.

Address: Musée du Louvre, 99 rue de Rivoli, Paris 1er.

Basquiat x Warhol, a four-handed partnership
 

The New York of the 80s saw a close collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Over one hundred and fifty works were produced together. Over half of them, in addition to individual works from each artist, are on show at the Fondation Louis Vuitton until August 28. The paintings produced together work like an exquisite corpse: the two artists take it in turns to continue working on the same canvas until it reaches its final outcome, which is the result of back and forth between the two creators. The exhibition covers the whole collaboration, which evolves from a superposition of two styles to a genuine intermingling.

Address: Fondation Louis Vuitton, 8 avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, Paris 16th.

Up to space
 

Put on your space suit and take off for a trip into outer space! Well, almost... Let's just say it'll be like being there, with this exhibition at the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, which has been on show since July 5 2022, and runs until August 20, 2023.
It features a series of interactive workshops enabling visitors to experience a journey beyond the atmosphere: a zero gravity simulator, a distorting mirror, a tour of the inside of a rocket and more. In addition, the exhibition presents the everyday objects of space travel: spacesuits, food, engines and other technical points that any space exploration enthusiast will be delighted to better understand. For young and old alike!

Address: Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, 3 Esplanade de l'Air et de l'Espace Aéroport de Paris - Le Bourget, 93352 Dugny.
