Under the direction of Pierre Stépanoff, alongside curators Agathe Jagerschmidt-Seguin (Archaeology) and Maya Derrien (Modern and Contemporary Art), the museum has developed a season structured around several highlights, ranging from ancient Egypt to contemporary photography, as well as the treasures of Old Master drawings.

Mickalene Thomas Exhibition at the Grand Palais – All About Love

Presented at the Grand Palais, All About Love offers a structured reading of Mickalene Thomas’s work through a carefully designed parcours that explores questions of representation, gaze, and intimacy. Rather than functioning as a purely formal retrospective, the exhibition situates itself within a broader reflection on how certain identities and narratives are increasingly acknowledged within cultural institutions. Through an alternation between works of strong visual presence and more contemplative pieces, the exhibition creates an accessible experience while leaving room for multiple interpretations.
