The GrandPalaisRmn has announced a series of major exhibitions and cultural events planned for the first half of 2027, with highlights at the Grand Palais in Paris and across France. The first event of the year will be an exhibition dedicated to Gilles Caron, a renowned photojournalist who died in Cambodia in 1970 at the age of 30. The exhibition, Gilles Caron - J'ai voulu voir, will run from March 16 to July 24, 2027, and will showcase over 130,000 images from his career, which spanned 500 reports over five years. The exhibition is co-produced with the Médiathèque du patrimoine et de la photographie and the Gilles Caron foundation and is part of the bicentenary of photography, marking 200 years since the invention of the photographic process. Less than a week later, on March 23, the Grand Palais will open Marcel Duchamp - Portrait possible, an exhibition that will run until August 1. This exhibition will focus on Duchamp through his artistic and intellectual circle, drawing a portrait of an artist whose disruptive work was shaped through contact with an unexpected constellation of creators. The exhibition is co-produced with the Centre Pompidou, the MoMA in New York, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. On May 12, 180 masterpieces from the collection of writer and patron Georges Bemberg will be presented for the first time in Paris until September 12 in Gallery 8 of the Grand Palais. These works include paintings, sculptures, works on paper, furniture, and art objects that span 500 years of creation, from the 16th to the 20th century. Artists such as Véronèse, Canaletto, and Pierre Bonnard will be featured, with the Bemberg collection holding one of the most important private collections preserved. The GrandPalaisRmn will also expand beyond Paris with three exhibitions of treasures from the British Museum, which are loaned to France in exchange for the Bayeux tapestry, currently displayed in its halls. In Rouen, the first exhibition will be dedicated to masterpieces of the Renaissance, including works from Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, and will open on January 16. Two other exhibitions will be unveiled on April 17 in Rouen and at the Musée de Normandie in Caen, one dedicated to the history of chess with pieces from the famous game of Lewis, and the other to the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms with part of the Sutton Hoo treasure, including the famous helmet. The GrandPalaisRmn will also accompany an exhibition dedicated to Marie Laurencin at the Musée du Luxembourg from February 17 to July 4, and another on Joséphine and Hortense de Beauharnais at the Château de Bois-Préau from March 31 to August 2. In Écouen and Chantilly, the Renaissance heritage will be honored through the figure of Anne de Montmorency from June 5 to October 3, while in Nice, the National Marc-Chagall Museum will explore the links between the painter and André Malraux from June 12 to September 21. In Lille, visitors will be able to discover until March 22 the tour dedicated to the influence of the Grand Tour on British painters, including William Turner, with nearly 80 works from the Tate Britain. The tour was inaugurated on November 20, 2026. At the Grand Palais, the first half of 2027 will also be marked by the final weeks of several already opened exhibitions, including Cezanne et nous, which will continue until January 17. A series of events will also take place under the Grand Palais' roof, including Art Capital (February 18-21), the anniversary of the Centre Pompidou (March 25-26), the fair Art Paris (March 31-April 4), and the eighth edition of Révélations, dedicated to the crafts (May 19-23), with more than 550 creators from around the world.
