Musée d'Orsay

The 'Art is in the Street' exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay from 18 March to 6 July 2025 examines the spectacular rise of the illustrated poster in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. Co-organised in partnership with the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the exhibition is a first on this scale. In fact, in Paris, no major event has yet been devoted to this social phenomenon, bringing together so many outstanding works by the 'Masters of the poster'. Bonnard, Chéret, Grasset, Mucha, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec.

The exhibition devoted by the Musée d'Orsay to the Norwegian artist Christian Krohg is the artist's first retrospective outside Scandinavia, following several exhibitions in Oslo and Lillehammer in 2012, and Copenhagen in 2014. By highlighting Krohg's committed, naturalistic works, the museum offers a new perspective on Norwegian art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
