«BELLE ÉPOQUE» - Guided Tour in English

👉 The exhibition focuses on Paris. Through the spectacular rise of the poster, which came to dominate the public space, the “City of Light” reveals the ambitions, anxieties and contradictions of a society in transition: the widening access to art, the flourishing world of entertainment, the growing influence of a free press, the rise of modern advertising and the pivotal role of industrial development.

Featuring approximately 90 works, the exhibition highlights the distinctive creative vision of major artists including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Alfons Mucha, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis, Félix Vallotton and Henri-Gabriel Ibels. Together, these works offer a captivating panorama of a brilliant era: the Belle Époque.
