A journey through the streets of historic Paris – the busy banks of the Seine, bustling marketplaces, grand boulevards, public gardens, and the heady atmosphere of Montmartre – brought to life in more than 170 works of art and artisan objects from the Musée Carnavalet – History of Paris collection.
This exhibition reflects on an effervescent period of social change, urban development and artistic innovation that shaped modern Paris. Featuring paintings by Jean Béraud, Maurice Utrillo, and Paul Signac and prints by Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries.
