Six events a year

Each year, six exhibitions are on show in museums, cultural centres or the Organization's own premises. They generally run for three to six months and offer a complete visitor journey, with a catalogue, mediation and activities for schools.
Exact dates, opening hours and prices vary by host venue: always check the exhibition's information sheet before you travel.
Exhibitions that travel are presented on the touring exhibitions page.

Reading an exhibition sheet
Each sheet gives the title, theme, curator, dates, venue, opening hours, prices and related services: audio guide, guided tour, workshops. A plan of the visitor route and the list of works complete the information.
Sheets are updated every week. In the event of a last-minute change, an alert appears at the top of the page.



Prices and reservations
Admission is free for public officials with proof of status and for anyone under eighteen. Other visitors pay a price set by the host venue, generally between €6 and €15 (indicative). Reduced prices are available for students and groups.
Reservation is recommended for groups of more than ten people and compulsory for school visits. It can be made online or by email through the Events Directorate.
Guided tours and workshops
Guided tours are offered in French, English and Spanish, and in sign language on request. They last forty-five minutes and are led by a mediator trained by the Academy.
Workshops for children aged eight and over introduce the investigative professions: examining a painting under a lamp, comparing a signature, reassembling a puzzle of fragments.
Catalogue and resources
An illustrated catalogue accompanies each exhibition. It is sold on site at cost price and can be downloaded free of charge in digital form after six months. Press images are available from the photo library.
Educational packs are provided for teachers, with sheets by level and suggested activities before and after the visit.
