Exhibitions on right now in Paris

176 exhibitions open right now in Paris — 86 of them free (49%), median entry price €14.19 and 39 closing within two weeks. Listings updated on .

An exhibition has no curtain-up time: it runs over a period, and the only question worth asking is whether it is open, and until when. This page answers the first half. It shows only the exhibitions whose run covers today’s date, in Paris and its inner suburbs, across every subject — painting, photography, contemporary art, history, science, fashion and immersive walkthroughs. Shows announced but not yet open are therefore excluded, as are those that have just closed.

That leaves the question of weekly closing days, which this page cannot settle for you: most Paris museums close one day a week, Monday or Tuesday depending on the institution, and galleries and libraries follow calendars of their own. We do not print “open today” on the strength of a date range: saying a venue is open without knowing its weekly hours would be wrong one day in seven. The official venue page, linked from every listing, carries today’s hours.

The ranking puts what closes soonest at the top: the most useful order when dozens of exhibitions are open at once and some still have six months to run. Every listing carries the venue, the run, the time left and, where admission is charged, the lowest price found with a link to the official ticket page. Temporary exhibition prices most often sit between ten and twenty euros, and a notable share of the catalogue charges nothing at all.

Frequently asked questions

What exhibitions are on in Paris right now?

This page shows only the exhibitions whose run covers today’s date, in Paris and its inner suburbs, across every subject. It is recalculated on every visit, so what you see here is currently on.

Does “on now” mean open today?

No. It means the exhibition’s run covers today’s date. Most Paris museums close one day a week — Monday or Tuesday — and galleries and libraries have their own calendars. The venue page linked from each listing carries today’s hours.

Why are exhibitions ordered by closing date?

Because a missed exhibition is missed for good — unlike a play or a concert, a dismantled hang is not staged again anywhere. Soonest to close therefore comes first.
