Facade du musée de picardie à Amiens
Musée de Picardie 2026: Must-See Exhibitions in Amiens, from Egypt to Masterpieces of Drawing and Contemporary Creation

In Amiens, the Musée de Picardie will confirm in 2026 its ambition to stand as a major regional encyclopedic museum. Combining heritage conservation, long-term scholarly projects, and a demanding artistic program, the institution is establishing itself as one of the leading cultural hubs in the Hauts-de-France region.

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.

From Amiens to Notre-Dame de Paris, these technologies are reshaping our understanding of heritage and uncovering an architecture that is more fragile, more dynamic—and more human—than previously imagined.
