Hilma af Klint
6 May – 30 August 2026
Grand Palais, Paris 8th arrondissement
First exhibition in France devoted to the Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), only recently recognized as a major figure of artistic modernity and of the beginnings of abstraction—on a par with her male counterparts Kandinsky, Kupka, Malevich, and Mondrian.
Alongside a conventional figurative practice, Hilma af Klint developed a body of work shaped by spiritualism and science, in which spirals, circles, and radiating forms convey the invisible forces governing the world and a search for cosmic harmony. Long kept secret, initially at the artist’s own request, this work was not presented to the public until 1986, in the group exhibition The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890–1985 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
This event not only highlights the many sources that informed her work—esotericism, folklore and popular art, and scientific culture—but also questions the way art history long overlooked women artists and their contribution to the founding movements of modern art.

Cezanne et nous
23 septembre 2026 – 17 janvier 2027
Consacrée à un des pères incontestés de l'art moderne occidental et à son héritage artistique, « Cézanne et nous » invite à regarder l'œuvre de Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) à travers les regards successifs et multiples qu’il a suscités, de la toute fin du 19e siècle jusqu’à aujourd'hui. L'exposition présente 70 œuvres du maître qui voulait peindre la vérité en vis-à-vis de celles de quelque 80 artistes, de Paul Gauguin à Wolfgang Tilllmans, des tenants des avant-gardes – Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian… – à ceux de l'art contemporain, de l'abstraction d'après-guerre en Europe et aux États-Unis au post-modernisme… Elle vient raconter une double histoire : celle de son influence fondamentale, et celle, à contrecourant, des artistes qui se sont revendiqués de lui, et en ont fait « notre père à tous » selon
Picasso.

Vies minuscules
24 septembre 2026 – 31 janvier 2027
Au cœur du Panthéon, monument dédié aux grands hommes et grandes femmes de la nation française, « Vies minuscules »* interroge la manière dont l'art accueille les vies reléguées aux marges de la grande histoire, témoigne de leur part infime, intime ou infâme, élève à leur mémoire des tombeaux tour à tour imposants ou fragiles.
Conçue comme un parcours dans l'ensemble de la nef du panthéon, l'exposition réunit une trentaine d'artistes et embrasse plus d'un siècle de création, de František Kupka (1871-1957) à Jumana Manna (née en 1987), en passant par Christian Boltanski, Mathieu Pernot, Teo Hernández ou Clarisse Hahn – ainsi que deux commandes spécifiquement passées pour dialoguer avec l'architecture du monument sont réalisées par Sara Favriau et Adéla Soucková.
*Le titre est emprunté au livre de Pierre Michon, Vies minuscules, publié aux éditions Gallimard en 1984.

Louise Bourgeois. Extrême tension
Dessins et gravures
20 octobre 2026 – 21 février 2027
Bibliothèque nationale de France, Site Richelieu, Paris 2e
Figure majeure de l'art contemporain, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) construit son œuvre en marge des grands courants qui marquent le 20e siècle – surréalisme, expressionnisme abstrait, minimalisme… – développant un langage profondément personnel. Cette exposition réunit pour la première fois deux fonds complémentaires – issus notamment de dons généreux consentis par l'artiste de son vivant à la BNF puis au Centre Pompidou. Chronologique, elle permet de mettre en lumière les principaux thèmes qui jalonnent son œuvre, et de comprendre l'interdépendance du dessin et de la gravure dans son travail, ainsi que leurs relations étroites à la sculpture et à l'écriture.

Dimanche sans fin
Maurizio Cattelan & the Centre Pompidou collection
8 May 2025 – 2 February 2027
To mark its 15th anniversary, the Centre Pompidou-Metz is transforming all of its galleries to host hundreds of works from the Musée National d’Art Moderne collection. These include rarely seen pieces—sometimes thought untransportable—such as André Breton’s studio wall or Marcel Duchamp’s chess table.
The exhibition explores the theme of Sunday in its social, political, and aesthetic dimensions. Curated collectively under the guidance of artist Maurizio Cattelan, the exhibition unfolds as a poetic journey through 27 sections, each conceived as an alphabetical entry of thoughts, verses, slogans… touching on themes such as the division between leisure and work, private and public space, spirituality and light, or art’s power to imagine alternative worlds and evoke melancholic reflection.
François Morellet
100 pour cent
3 April – 29 September 2026
To mark the centenary of François Morellet (1926-2016), the Centre Pompidou-Metz is presenting a retrospective of 100 works spanning the years 1941 to 2016, the most comprehensive ever mounted to date.
What makes Morellet so singular is that he was both the leading French representative of geometric abstraction—favoring a programmed, systematic art that keeps subjectivity at bay, embraces chance, engages in dialogue with Concrete art, and anticipates Minimalism—and the artist who most decisively unsettled it. He explored the optical aberrations generated by his own systems, foregrounding visual disruption and the instability of perception in a neo-Dada spirit infused with humor. The exhibition brings this ambivalence to light through two chronological paths, beginning with his early figurative paintings of the 1940s.

100 x Morellet
3 April 2026 – 27 September 2027
To mark the centenary of François Morellet (1926-2016), numerous institutions, at the initiative of the Centre Pompidou, are joining forces to pay tribute to one of the major figures of contemporary French art.
This tribute takes the form of original displays, renewed attention to works held in the national collections and in public space, as well as a series of talks, lectures, and an international symposium. Its aim is to reassess Morellet’s legacy, his place in art history, his relationship to heritage and architecture, and the influence he continues to exert on contemporary artists.

Projet pour une révolution
Vasarely and Architecture
16 June – 1st November 2026
Fondation Vasarely, Aix-en-Provence
Conceived to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Vasarely Foundation, inaugurated in 1976, "Projet pour une révolution" (Project for a Revolution) not only revisits the construction of this emblematic building of Op art, whose founding figure was Victor Vasarely (1906-1997), but also reflects on the place and function of architecture throughout his œuvre.
From the first architectural integrations in Caracas in 1954, envisioned as the ideal mode of presentation for his visual creations, to the unrealised project of the Cité polychrome du bonheur (Polychrome City of Happiness), Vasarely moved beyond the synthesis of the arts championed by the Espace group, which he joined in the 1950s, towards a broader reflection on the nature of the artwork itself, as well as on the conditions of its production, dissemination, and conservation within a profoundly social dimension.

La mer est ton miroir
20 June – 1st November 2026
Extending the 3rd edition of the Les Grands Récits festival, held from June 5 to 7 in Auxerre, 2026, the Centre Pompidou invites visitors to immerse themselves in the imaginary world of the sea in the 20th and 21st centuries. Taking its title from a line in Charles Baudelaire’s poem L'Homme et la Mer (Man and the Sea), "La mer est ton miroir" (The sea is your mirror) invites a poetic reflection on nature as much as on our own existence.
From Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) to Hicham Berrada (born 1986), some twenty works – paintings, videos, installations, design… – are nestled within the heart of the monastic architecture, echoing its own collections, whilst the chapter house hosts a site-specific work created especially for the occasion by the visual artist Nicolas Floc’h (born in 1970).

Raoul Dufy, la mélodie du bonheur
27 June – 20 September 2026
Drawn from the rich body of works bequeathed to the French State in 1963 and now held by the Musée national d’art moderne – Centre Pompidou, this retrospective highlights the extraordinary versatility of Raoul Dufy's genius (1877-1953). Far from being confined to painting, drawing and printmaking, his creative practice also encompassed the decorative arts, ceramics and textile design.
Through a journey that is both chronological and thematic, with particular emphasis on his connections to Normandy and to music, the exhibition offers an original perspective on the major developments of modernity during the first half of the twentieth century. From his early landscapes, rooted in the legacy of Impressionism, to his efforts to "renew" popular art in the 1910s, via Fauvism and Cubism, the exhibition traces the many artistic currents that shaped his singular vision.

Suivez le fil !
Design & textile
27 June – 31 October 2026
Drawing on around one hundred works by some forty artists from the national design collections, "Suivez le fil!" ("Follow the Thread!") explores the distinctive role of textiles in the history of design. Bridging craft and technology, ancestral gestures and contemporary utopias, the exhibition reflects the aesthetic and technical transformations of the 20th century, while also nurturing the most radical contemporary experiments.
From pioneering figures of the modern avant-garde such as Sonia Delaunay and Eileen Gray to contemporary designers including Pauline Esparon and Jeanne Goutelle, among others, the exhibition highlights the essential contribution of women designers to the evolution of design.

Musée sentimental
André Breton, Daniel Spoerri, Joseph Cornell, Annette Messager, Marcel Duchamp, Ben…
11 septembre 2026 – 14 mars 2027
« Musée sentimental » explore un thème fondateur de l'histoire de l'art et des musées : la pratique de la collection, ou l'attachement que peuvent susciter les objets, même les plus dérisoires, par le pouvoir de la mémoire ou de l'émotion qu'ils convoquent. Que ce soit sous la forme d'assemblage, accumulation, mise en scène, de cabinets de curiosité, vitrines ou boîtes… les artistes du 20e et du 21e siècle l'intègrent comme un processus de création.
L'exposition en présente une soixantaine issue de la réunion de trois collections – Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon et Centre Pompidou. Leur mise en dialogue permet de confronter leurs différentes approches : du mur de l'atelier d'André Breton (1922-66) au Mur du Temps d'Étienne-Martin (1963-85) reconstitué pour la première fois ; des petits « théâtres de mémoire » de Joseph Cornell (années 50) au « centre d'art total » que représente pour Ben son Magasin (1958-73) ; des mannequins de Henri Ughetto (années 1970) à la Weird Family sculptée par Sylvie Selig (2015-2026)…

To Open Eyes
Artists' Gaze
3 July 2025 – 31 January 2027
The new semi-permanent exhibition at the Centre Pompidou Málaga focusses on the way in which artists invite us to decentre our gaze and thus transform our relationship with art, society and the world. "To Open Eyes" is an undirected exhibition that proposes a broad and non-exhaustive panorama of the major movements and disruptions that marked the history of art in the 20th and 21st centuries, right up until recent works reflecting certain contemporary issues.

Constantin Brancusi
20 March – 9 August 2026
With more than 150 sculptures, photographs, drawings, films, and rarely seen archival materials from the Centre Pompidou and other public and private international collections, the exhibition offers the most extensive survey of Constantin Brancusi’s (1876-1957) multifaceted work to date.
In addition to key works such as Le Baiser (The Kiss), L'Oiseau dans l'espace (Bird in Space), La Muse endormie (Sleeping Muse), and La Colonne sans fin (Endless Column), the exhibition also features a partial reconstruction of Brancusi’s legendary studio—shown outside of Paris for the first time since its bequest to the French state in 1957. His organic forms, reduced to their essence, established him as a pioneer of sculptural abstraction in the early 20th century.

Chez Matisse
El legado de una nueva pintura
26 March – 23 August 2026
The exhibition highlights the work of Henri Matisse (1869-1954) as a perpetual reinvention of painting —the medium he consistently described as "the pinnacle of his desires"— embracing both its historical legacy and its relevance in the present. It brings some thirty of his paintings into dialogue with major figures of the 20th and 21st centuries—from Sonia Delaunay and Natalia Goncharova to Daniel Buren and Barnett Newman—tracing his influence across both real and imagined spheres of artistic creation.

Designing Childhood
Une histoire du design pour les enfants
1st April – 20 September 2026
As a testing ground for new materials and production processes, children’s furniture has left its mark on the history of 20th-century design. It embodies the ambitions, social changes and technological advances of its era. Gradually recognised as individuals in their own right, children are no longer seen as ‘little adults’ and have carved out a specific place for themselves in the home, society and the market. Many designers embraced this field and found children’s furniture to be a privileged field for experimentation.

Le Geste et la Matière
Abstractions internationales (1945-1965)
13 mai – 7 septembre 2026
« Le Geste et la Matière » est consacrée à l’apparition après la Seconde guerre mondiale d’une nouvelle abstraction, non plus fondée sur la géométrie, mais sur le geste et sa spontanéité, à la recherche de nouvelles manières de recouvrir le support pictural.
Présentant une quarantaine de toiles – la plupart de grands formats – conservées par le Musée national d'art moderne, l'exposition rappelle le rôle de Paris dans cette époque charnière de l'histoire de l'art. Animée par un solide réseau de galeries et une nouvelle génération de critiques d’art, attirant des artistes aussi bien européens qu'américains et asiatiques, la capitale française redevient pour un temps le centre du monde artistique. S'y croisent les tenants de l'art informel, de la couleur noire, de l'Action Painting ou de Gutaï au Japon... qui œuvrent durant deux décennies à faire langage commun.

The Cubists: Inventing Modern Vision
4 June – 4 October 2026
Organized as a chronological journey, the exhibition traces the emergence, dissemination, and international development of Cubism. It brings together around 90 paintings and sculptures by more than 40 artists from the collection of Centre Pompidou – Musée national d’art moderne. From major figures of the movement, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, and Sonia and Robert Delaunay, to artists less familiar to Korean audiences, such as Albert Gleizes, Amédée Ozenfant, and Natalia Goncharova.
A special section entitled KOREA FOCUS highlights the ways in which this "modern vision", born of Western Cubism, helped shape developments in modern and contemporary Korean art.

Contemporary Drawings
Florence and Daniel Guerlain's Donation and Gifts to MNAM
25 July – 1er November 2026
Latvian National Museum of Art, Riga
Echoing the major exhibition devoted by the Latvian National Museum of Art to the development of Latvian graphic arts since the eighteenth century, Contemporary Drawings: Florence and Daniel Guerlain Donation and Gifts to the Musée National d’Art Moderne offers a decidedly international perspective. The exhibition brings together artists internationally well-known such as Robert Longo, Kiki Smith, Giuseppe Penone, Marlene Dumas, and French artists, such as Henri Cueco, Dove Allouche, Anne-Marie Schneider – most of whom have never been exhi¬bited in Latvia.
Bringing together nearly one hundred works on paper by more than forty artists, the exhibition highlights the diversity of approaches, techniques and formats that characterize contemporary drawing. At the same time, it reflects the richness of the ensemble formed by the successive gifts made to the Musée National d’Art Moderne since 2006 by the French collectors Florence and Daniel Guerlain.
